This hilarious comedy tells the story of the bored suburban couple Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey) Foster who fear they are stuck in a rut. During one of their weekly date nights, Phil impulsively steals the dinner reservation of another couple, leading to a case of mistaken identity. Unfortunately for the Fosters, the reservation was for a thieving couple on the run from mobsters. The Fosters soon find themselves on a series of crazy adventures to save their lives and ultimately, their marriage. Directed by Shawn Levy, Date Night also stars Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, Kristin Wiig, Mark Ruffalo, and Leighton Meester.
