Date Night is a 2010 American romantic action comedy film directed by Shawn Levy and written by Josh Klausner.

The plot revolves around a case of mistaken identity in New York City, where a bored married couple's attempt to rekindle their romance on a glamorous night out spirals into an unexpected, dangerous adventure.

Phil, a tax lawyer, and Claire, a realtor, lead busy lives, and even their weekly date nights have become monotonous.

The couple is spurred to reignite their romance after discovering that their close friends, Brad and Haley, are divorcing to escape the monotony of married life in search of more excitement.

Their night takes a sudden turn when they are approached by two men, Collins and Armstrong, who mistake them for the real Tripplehorns and demand a flash drive that they believe the Fosters have stolen from mob boss Joe Miletto.

Felton hands over the flash drive, which contains incriminating photos of District Attorney Frank Crenshaw with prostitutes, meant to blackmail him.

With the flash drive in hand, Phil and Claire are pursued by Collins and Armstrong, leading to a wild car chase involving a Ford Crown Victoria taxicab attached to their Audi at the bumpers.

They share a quiet breakfast at a diner, where Phil expresses his love for Claire, stating that if he had the chance, he would marry her and have their children all over again.

The site's critical consensus reads: "An uneasy blend of action and comedy, Date Night doesn't quite live up to the talents of its two leads, but Steve Carell and Tina Fey still manage to shine through most of the movie's flaws".

[12] Roger Ebert awarded the film three and a half stars, praising its leads: "If you don't start out liking the Fosters and hoping they have a really nice date night, not much else is going to work".

[13] Jim Vejvoda from IGN rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, commenting that while Date Night "suggests a lot of comedic possibilities," it falls short in fully capitalizing on them.
