FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

Date Night


Rating: 4
Length: 1:28
Starring: Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Mark Wahlberg
Genre: Adult, Comedy


Because Fey and Carell are hot at the present time, this movie got somewhat over hyped. You know the setting: a thirty-something New Jersey couple living an easy, uneventful life go to the Big Apple for dinner at a fancy restaurant. They fake the identity of another fancy couple and take their reservations. It happens that this other couple seems to have some sort of trouble with the mob. The rest of the movie is spent in a series of bizarre incidents around the city. There are some laughs but not enough to overcome the monotony of one chase after another with no breathing room in between. Mercifully it all ends just short of an hour and a half.
