Here is a foreign concept. A date night! Someone please forward me a proper definition of that – stat! But a red carpet I know and with that I headed down to Tina Fey and Steve Carell’s “Date Night” NY premiere at the Ziegfeld Theater last night. (Don’t you judge me!)
This might have been enough for some – a quiet event in a controlled environment, but throw in costars Leighton Meester, Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson – who rocked an off the shoulder blue cocktail number – and the hotness of Common and the night took a whole new level of excitement.
There was even an arrest just prior to the celebrity arrivals! Poor woman was paraded down the lenght of the streets as the gathered press and a horde of fans looked on. Slightly embarassing…
Now, truth be told, I don’t get Steve Carell’s sense of humor. Tina Fey’s I get. Her Sarah Palin impression is now legendary and still hysterical. So it will be interesting to see how this flick does – especially given that their shows respectively, are all the rave.

The flick has had mixed reviews. That’s about as descriptive as saying “the sky is blue”.
Whilst I’m not an overwhelming fan of Steve Carell, I thought his efforts were seamless. However, I thought the limelight belonged to Tina Fey- no doubt!
Her humour is so natural. Her presence is innocent yet authentic. Enough with the compliments! Fair. But despite the elaborate plot, Fey and Carell pulled off an entertaining number.
Speaking of numbers, box office results have not yielded the expected return on investment- but I’m sure with a little more time, this comedy debut will see great results.
