A couple gets way over their head legally and go through hilarious hijinks to get out of it. Sounds familiar right? If you are bummed about missing The Lovebirds with Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae, check out Date Night with Steve Carell and Tina Fey. After trying to spice up their marriage, a case of mistaken identity get Fey and Carrell in trouble with the mob. This cast is filled with so many recognizable faces, you’ll be saying “Oh, they’re in this?” Humor and action are handled brilliantly by director Shawn Levy, who has directed multiple Stranger Things episodes and the upcoming (hopefully) Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi. If you are looking for other films in the same vain, check out Game Night and Stuber.
