Fey, Carell Hit Misses

This weekend Tina Fey and Steve Carell starred in the newest comedy, Date Night, which had everyone expecting a great comical match-making. Unfortunately, according to E! Online's Movie Reviews the film is graded at a measly C. Why don't the two actors in Hollywood who undoubtedly bring the most laughs to the big screen make such a hot couple on screen? Perhaps it's the not-so-great screenplay. Either way, the movie is star studded, featuring James Franco, Mila Kunis, Mark Wahlburg, Mark Ruffalo, and more. The wide array of stars and bits of comical outbursts from Carell are enough to get an audience.

Right now Date Night ranks at second in the box office, right behind Clash of the Titans and before How to Train Your Dragon. I think if not for the pure pleasure of seeing Carell and Fey interact on-screen, the movie is worth seeing.
