Phil and Claire Foster (Steve Carell and Tina Fey) are going through the motions in their happy, albeit boring married life. They have two children, steady jobs and go out on a date once a week at the same restaurant. After learning that their close friends are splitting up due to a boring, routine lifestyle, they decide to spice up their date night by going to the classiest restaurant they can find in New York city, despite not having a reservation. In an act of defiance they steal another couples reservation and so begins the rollercoaster ride of mistaken identity, gun fire and government blackmail.
I am a huge fan of Steve Carell and Tina Fey and seeing them together in a movie was a joy. They play off eachother sensationally. The film is padded out with several celebrity cameos such as Mark Wahlberg, James Franco and Ray Liotta.
The film,despite being fun, fast and action packed, is very predicatable and lined with some cheap sentiment which can easily be glossed over by audiences, losing interest in the slower moments.
Rating: 3/5

But the blog, great idea!! Been thinking about starting one myself and have actually been looking for a good movie review blog, so I'll be keeping an eye on this one ;). How about adding some pictures (smalll ones so they don't take up a whole page)? A picture says more than a thousand words they say ;)!
Have you heard they're doing the hobbit? My mom and I are going through the roof about that ;). Or still only into teen-movies :p?? I remember a conversation yeeaars ago in Kitty's room about that, haha!
Give your parents/brother a big kiss from over here!!
