Date Night

Last night I watched Date Night on DVD.

I don't usually like these silly comedies very much, but this one was pretty harmless and generally entertaining.

It's about a middle aged couple who have a good relationship and are yet in a rut. To make their weekly date night special, they go to dinner in the city. They take someone else's reservation and end up embroiled in a dangerous blackmail conspiracy. Two guy are trying to kill them in order to get a flash drive with information vital to the mob... It's all very ridiculous and over the top. But the dialogue was just fresh enough, and the performances just pleasant enough, that overall I didn't mind watching it.

James Franco had a small but very charming role.
