Genre: Comedy
Cami's Rating: 2 1/2 stars
I went to this movie with some girls for my birthday outing. It was fun sometimes, and embarrassing sometimes. I mean, I'll admit, it was funny. But not funny enough to be a movie with these two actors, and I felt like they went to the gross and ridiculous a little more than I would have liked, and a little too far out of character/situation as well. Too bad, it could have been hilarious.
Summary: Some overwhelmed parents decide to spice up their date night with a trip into the city, take someone else's reservation at a posh restaurant, and are subsequently thrown into a high-profile coverup/life-threatening chase.
Thoughts: It had such potential. I thought the beginning scenes of life as a parent were really funny, and the portrayal of their comfortable but boring marriage. But that's about where it ended. I didn't think they were that funny during all the chase business. There was too much relying on obvious/gross humor and not enough wit that I love from these actors. If you ARE going to rent this, you should be prepared to fast-forward an entire scene when they do a little "dance" in a strip joint which went on way, way, way too long, and IMO wasn't funny at all. You may get some laughs, but you decide if it's really worth it.
