Come on…Steve Carell and Tina Fey with minor roles from Mark Whalberg and James Franco?!?!?! Can’t go wrong, right? Well…RIGHT! Good stuff! Plenty of comedic stingers with a constant barrage of subtle humor that Carell and Fey both bring to the screen make for a fun date night—or if you’re scoring alone, for that matter.
The Fosters (Steve and Tina) are trying to break out of the duldrums that define marriage (why anyone does that, I have no idea!). So, realizing that their vows have them reaching for record-setting heights in marital duldrums, the Fosters try to spice things up. They go into the city (NYC) for a night out at a trendy restaurant. Unfortunately, they haven’t trended well and find themselves on the outside looking in, until they take matters into their own hands and steal the Triplehorns reservations. A rollercoaster ride follows when the Fosters not only get the Triplehorn’s table, but also the mob cronies that are after them.
Good stuff all around. I love Franco as the burnout, stoner character (think Pineapple Express with Carell along for the ride calling him a whore). Carell and Fey are as good as advertised.
All things considered, I laughed…I cried…I save $11 (I used my free soda and free popcorn vouchers)! Okay, I didn’t cry, but it was touching realizing that at day’s end, whether you’re being chased by the mob or having to take out your saliva-stringed retainer for some routine sex…at the core of a great relationship is love and friendship. Everything else is just kinda in details that we probably shouldn’t worry too much about anyway.
Well, thanks for reading and yeah, I mowed the yard yesterday!
