Date Night is the first comedy of the year that had me sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next and also had laughing so hard that I about fell out of my chair (probably because I was on the edge of my seat). With incredible one-liners, hilarious situations, and amazing acting, this movie beat out Imaginarium to rank in our top three!

What makes this comedy stand out even more than the hilarious moments is the continuity of the plot as well as a fantastically matched leading pair. The movie is well written to include how the husband (Steve Carrell) and the wife (Tina Fey) work out there issues of being a couple in a believable way while being in a completely unbelievable situations. My favorite unbelievable situation is their twist on the action car chase scene where they includes two cars smashed together face-to-face racing through the street. With Fey in one car and Carrell in the other, they have to work together to avoid crooked cops, a police barricade and more.

Simply hilarious. Fey and Carrell’s adlibbing had me laughing to the point of tears. Amy and I saw this movie again the next day, and were still laughing just as hard. My favorite parts were definitely the car-chase scene with the taxi driver (“You put your junk in reverse!”) and the strip club scene (“Sexy robots!”). Also, be sure to stay during the credits for some hysterical outtakes!
