In New York City, a case of mistaken identity turns a bored married couple's attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous
With the likes of Mark Wahlberg, Mark Ruffalo, Ray Liotta, Mila Kunis and James Franco, 'Day Night' is a action-comdey from Shawn Levy, the director of the blockbuster 'Night at the Museum' franchise.
Teaming up with two of the comdey world's biggest talents, Steve Carell ('The 40 Year Old Virgin') and Tina Fey (ཚ Rock') for an adventure that turns a run-of-the-mill married couple's date upside down.
Phil (Carell) and Claire Foster (Fey) are a sensible, loving couple with two kids and a house in suburban New Jersey. The Fosters have their weekly "date night" - an attempt at re-experiencing the spice of the dates of yesteryear, involving the same weekly night out at the local Teaneck Tavern. Their conversations quickly drift from barely-date talk to the same chore-chat they have at the dinner table at home.
After seeing two of their best friends - another married couple with kids in Suburban New Jersey - spilt apart from living the same life they themselves lead, Phil and Claire begin to fear what may lie ahead: a state of bland indifference and eventual separation.
In an attempt to take date night off auto-pilot, and hopefully inject a little spice into thier lives, Phil decides a change of plans is in order: take Claire into Manhattan to the city's hottest new restaurant. The Fosters, however, don't have reservations. Hoping to be seated sometime before the clock strikes twelve, they steal a no-show couple's reservations. What could it hurt? Phil and Claire are now the Tripplehorns.
Phil and Claire soon realize that their play-date-for-parents ha gone hilariously awry, as they embark on a wild and dangerous series of crazy adventures to save their lives...and their marriage.
'Date Night' is due to release across cinemas in the UK on 21 April 2010. Visit the official movie site for 'Date Night' www.datenight-movie.com.
