Date Night Of A Thousand Stars

What is this, new movie trailer day? (It is basically new movie trailer day.) Date Night trailer, you guys:

Sure. I mean, whatever. It's basically our generation's True Lies but with fewer hermaphrodites.

But have you seen the cast for this thing? The full cast? Tina Fey and Steve Carrell, sure. Common, yes, we know. Mark Wahlberg! James Franco! Of course! Even Mila Kunis is in this movie! Mila Kunis! But did you know this movie also has Leighton Meester, Mark Ruffalo, Kristen Wiig, Taraji P. Henson, Olivia Munn, Nick Kroll, and Samantha Bee?

"Could there be any more stars in this movie?"
--Bandler Ching

That's-a-lotta-stars! (Italian caricature who owns a restaurant that only sells stars. HUH?)

I was kind of hoping this would be a sort of Liz Lemon/Michael Scott slash fanfic, but I guess a nonsensical action movie about a middle-aged married couple is also good?

IMDB Trivia: All of these actors are working off gambling debts to the producers... who are also bookies (apparently).

Also, there better be a HUGE wink/nod to "North by Northwest" at some point in the movie.

I'm a little disapointed that it's Freddy Mercury. I thought it was some Salvador Dali I-wear-the-bananas-they-do-not-wear-me thing.

It is evident that I was exposed to pornography much too early in that for a split second, I thought you meant the other DP. Which changes that whole sentence.

Is there some asshole Hollywood person that doesn't let certain trailers get released without the-walking-into-something-like-a-door-or-tree slapstick crap? I really hope TF or SC pleaded with the director to not film that scene.

This looks adorable. Maybe that means I am getting old that I am now seriously looking forward to a broad comedy about a married couple getting into high-jinks... but man...


Look, I guess all I'm saying is that I would fool around with Tina Fey and she could leave the retainer IN.

That doesn't look too bad actually, in the most generic, unoffensive sense. I could picture myself sitting through that.

Although did anyone else just feel like Steve Carrell was playing a version of Michael Scott the whole time? And did Tina Fey seem like she was reading each line sarcastically? Maybe it's just me.

I want to be ashamed for being excited to seeing this, but then I see the list of stars in this(plus G4's[and Slamming Salmon's] Olivia Munn) makes me think that maybe besides the shitty excuse for a trailer that probably(maybe) there is something in the other slightly less than two hours of footage not shown that makes this a movie that we will all add to our "we are all cooler than our friends because they just don't get what is amazing movie collection."
Then again Robert Altman is dead so ensemble casted movies are yet to be proven to be anything but a quick paycheck for said actors while the director is too star struck to actually direct them. I hope for the former and not the latter.
