One overworked and tired couple from the 'burbs goes into the Big Apple for a simple dinner. A chance to get out of the house, away from the kids, and do something different. However, it all goes horribly wrong when they take the reservation of the Triplehorns, who are mixed up in some pretty nasty stuff. The couple must evade guns, sneak away from corrupted cops, and even drive an Audi. This is the comedy of the season, especially for people like me who don't like raunchy, uncomfortable comedies but rather the outrageously implausible antics of idiotic ordinary people (like Carell's character on The Office and Fey's character on 30 Rock). A lot of the scenes were improvised, and the viewer can tell that Carell and Fey had almost too much fun filming this. However, there are tender moments about marriage that make even people who have no idea what it's like to be married say "Awww."
Rated PG-13
3-1/3 stars out of 5
