Date Night is a 2010 romantic/action/comedy film directed by Shawn Levy and starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey as a hapless New Jersey couple, who have a "date night" every week.A couple who is friends with them is getting divorced because they have gotten bored with each other. Phil and Claire are told independently that they need to spice up their life. One night, after seeing her dressed up far beyond her usual date night "business casual", Phil decides to take Claire to the exclusive restaurant Claw, but neglects to make reservations in advance. Upon their arrival, Phil decides to take the reservation of a no-show couple, the Triplehorns.During dinner, a pair of men arrive and ask to talk to them in the alley outside. Phil and Claire comply, believing them to be restaurant employees who have discovered their dishonesty. They turn out to be thugs working for mobster Joe Miletto, attempting to retrieve a flash drive that the real Triplehorns have stolen. Phil and Claire attempt to explain themselves, but the men threaten them at gunpoint. Phil leads them to Central Park, where he and Claire escape after assaulting the two men.After discovering the two men are corrupt police officers, Phil and Claire realize they can't trust the police, since the police must be on Miletto's payroll. With the thugs still after them, they decide to retrieve the flash drive from the real Triplehorns and return it to Miletto so that the men will leave them alone.The rest of the film is Phil and Claire's attempt to get through the night without being killed or endangering their family at home. This involves skills, knowledge, and connections they didn't know they had, plus a few that they don't have, and multiple near-disasters.It placed second in its box-office clash with the infamous remake of Clash of the Titans, but it was well-received, with critics noting the great chemistry between Carell and Fey.

Chekhov's Gun: A number of things, but most importantly Claire's "counting to three" threat. Also notable is the gun Phil notices in Holbrook's apartment, which Phil later uses in Taste's apartment, and more importantly, when the cops notice Phil and Claire in the car.

Ironic Echo: After Phil convinces Claire to go through with the stripper act, she repeats his own words to him when the DA wants them both. Earlier, Phil and Claire come across a couple who've lost their money and IDs—then thanks to the crooked cops, the exact same thing happens to them. Played for laughs when Phil and Claire's conversation of what their married life has become is echoed by Taste and Whippit... kind of.

Actor Allusion: Of sorts. In the scene where the kids are watching the SpongeBob episode Karate Choppers, one of Phil's daughters waves a Minion doll up and down (imitating SpongeBob trying to karate chop Sandy over the phone). Steve Carell voiced Gru in Despicable Me. Kristen Wiig (Haley) would go on to appear in the Despicable Me sequels.

Hero of Another Story
 Date Night / int_581f6468
comment
Hero of Another Story: Claire's client Holbrooke Grant is heavily implied to be an experienced Action Hero, specifically a parody of James Bond, due to his Cool Cars, gadgets, being a Mr. Fanservice himself and bedding sexy girls. It's even helped by the fact he played by Mark Wahlberg, who is mostly well-known for his leading action genre roles. His role in this film and his later insufferable and exaggerated one in The Other Guys could be a case of Wahlberg Adam Westing.

Calling Your Attacks
 Date Night / int_71bd62b9
comment
Calling Your Attacks: In a meta way. When she is trying to get into the Peppermint Hippo posing as a new prostitute, Claire talks like she has a mouth full of gum. When the bouncer goes to let them in, she says to Phil that she's not really chewing gum. That can be seen as Tina Fey calling out her acting, rather than the audience assuming she really does have gum in her mouth. Also doubles as a Call-Back because Phil asked her earlier after he vomited if she had any gum, even though they both just had all their belongings taken from them.

All Is Well That Ends Well: Even though the police know they are directly responsible for breaking and entering, information theft, the destruction of a New York City Cab, quite a few parked cars and a substantial number of police cars, they get off just fine in the end with nary a slap on the wrist. Seems like their Hero Insurance was paid up. Of course, if they arrest them they then would have to say, in court, it was because they were running from corrupt police officers on the mob's pay roll. That amount of bad PR would be a lot more trouble then just letting them go.

Chekhov's Gunman: D.A. Frank Crenshaw is seen early in the film giving a speech about cleaning up the streets. He turns out to be the subject of the blackmail material mobster boss Joe Miletto has.

Please Put Some Clothes On: Phil is not happy with Holbrooke's nature as a Walking Shirtless Scene—especially since Claire visibly is.

Gangsta Style: Phil freaks out less when the goons pull out their guns than when one of them turns it sideways. He later does it himself when he's trying to intimidate Taste.

Viewer-Friendly Interface: Holbrooke's fancy touchscreen computer, just to emphasize how cool he is. Played for Laughs when he makes several extravagant gestures, accompanied by lots of beeps and dings.

Brick Joke: At the beginning, at home, Claire bangs her shins on drawers someone had left open. Halfway through the movie it happens twice more and it turns out it was Phil's fault each time, since leaving drawers open is a bad habit of his.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: The poster shows the two are alright. In the film, not only are their clothes roughed up, but they get a fair share of bruises.
