Collider:
I can’t think of two more likeable stars than Steve Carell and Tina Fey so it’s no surprise that their cinematic joint effort, Date Night, exudes a quality of general likability. Carell and Fey have an easy, natural chemistry playing Phil and Claire Foster, a married couple from New Jersey who decide to reignite their romance with a night out in the big, bad apple. When they end up mistaken for a couple of low-life crooks running a blackmailing scheme against a local politico, they end up on the run from corrupt cops and big-city mobsters. There’s a tradition of Manhattan-set screwball comedies that place during the course of one wild urban night – Martin Scorsese’s After Hours comes to mind – and while Date Night doesn’t do much to advance the sub-genre, it’s still a breezy, funny way to pass the Night.
Get in, loser, because Regina George isn’t the baddie she’s made out to be in Mean Girls.
TNS: "Dune director Denis Villeneuve lost interest in Star Wars way back in the '80s, and it's not the only franchise he's publicly disavowed."
TNS: "Christopher Nolan led a For Your Consideration panel in which he praised Denis Villeneuve for his work on Dune: Part Two."
