How Late Do You Stay Out on Date Night?

Heather Maddan — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 15:25:00 PST

Tonight's the night . . . well maybe! When you and your partner get the green light for some kid-free time out on the town, how long do you last? While some couples try to party it up like they did in their prebaby days, others are more conservative with their outings. During a recent date night twitter chat, @npjohnson tweeted, "11ish. Tad past my bedtime to make it feel special." What do you do?

What Is the Best Comedic Movie of 2010?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:00:52 PST

Laughter is the best medicine, but which film brought in the biggest dose this year? 2010 was filled with the ever-popular dude comedy, but there was also a Sex and the City flick and Easy A to prove that guys aren't the only ones getting big laughs. There may not be a standout like last year's The Hangover, but what do you think is the best comedic movie of 2010?

How Do You Spend Date Night?

Colleen Barrett — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 10:45:23 PDT

Katherine Heigl's husband Josh Kelley dished to People about how the two do date night, especially now that they live in Utah with their toddler daughter Naleigh.

What we usually do is try to find out what's good on Netflix, get all the dogs on the couch, and make sure that Naleigh's in bed, and then we pretty much chill and watch movies. I think we've pretty much seen every movie ever made, because there's nothing else to do where we live.

Even if you live in a swirling city, getting off the couch and going out can be hard work. So no judgment here! Last year we asked how your ideal date night would play out, but now we just want to know, how do they really go?

What to Rent: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 07:30:00 PDT

On the menu for this week's DVD releases? Comedy, comedy, and more comedy. Check out the titles below and start planning your next movie night!

Date Night

In this action romantic comedy, Tina Fey and Steve Carell play a bored married couple who get caught in a mix-up and end up on the run from a couple of thugs in New York City. The two stars are as perfect together as you'd think, and I was laughing out loud at their antics more often than not. The action sequences get a little tiresome, but the humor is worth the trip with Carell and Fey, not to mention the hilarious cameos from Mark Wahlberg and James Franco. DVD extras include a blooper reel, three dating PSAs from Carell and Fey, and director featurettes with Shawn Levy.

The Joneses

David Duchovny and Demi Moore star as Steve and Kate Jones, a couple whose house, clothes, and kids are as good-looking as they are. Here's the catch: they're actually salespeople paid to create the illusion of a perfect life and plug products to their envious friends and neighbors. Things start to get messy when Steve develops feelings for Kate and his morals get in the way of his work life. I thought the film was very entertaining, thanks to Duchovny's endearing performance. Though the social commentary gets to be a bit much, it makes for the perfect rental. DVD extras include deleted scenes.

Death at a Funeral Director Neil LaBute remade this 2007 British hit with a cast that includes Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, and James Marsden, about a family that reunites when the patriarch dies and everyone gathers for the funeral proceedings. When tension, drugs, and a little person claiming to be the dead father's gay lover ensues, well . . . I think you can figure out where this is going. Extras on the DVD include deleted scenes, a gag reel, commentary from LaBute and Chris Rock, interviews, and two featurettes. 38%

The Action Romantic Comedy: A Brief History

BuzzSugar — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 08:30:00 PDT

There's an emerging movie genre that's been gaining steam over the last few years: the hybrid of the action flick and the romantic comedy. As evidenced by two releases this month alone, Knight and Day and Killers, the idea seems to be that a movie that's equal parts romance and action will cross gender lines and sell more tickets. Whether or not that's true, I'm taking a look at some of the films that define this category of love and living on the edge.

Box Office: Iron Man 2 Skyrockets to No. 1

BuzzSugar — Mon, 10 May 2010 04:00:00 PDT

Robert Downey Jr. can add yet another film to his long list of successes: Iron Man 2. The film handily earned the top spot at the box office this weekend with an impressive $133.6 million - that makes it the fifth-highest opening gross in Hollywood history! The weekend earnings also bested that of the original Iron Man, which raked in $98.6 million for its opening weekend back in 2008.

Obviously that means that last week's champ A Nightmare on Elm Street fell to second place with only $9.1million in ticket sales (sorry, Freddy). It was followed by How to Train Your Dragon in third with $6.7 million, Date Night in fourth with $5.3 million, and The Back-up Plan in fifth with $4.3 million.

Box Office: Freddy Terrorizes the Competition

BuzzSugar — Mon, 03 May 2010 05:30:00 PDT

Proof that people love a good scare: despite what the critics said, A Nightmare on Elm Street easily won the box office race over the weekend, bringing in $32.2 million. It's the second highest opening in the film's nine-movie franchise, only behind 2003's Freddy vs. Jason. Coming in a distant second was last week's champ, How to Train Your Dragon, which earned $10.8 million.

Date Night held onto its third place spot with $7.6 million, while The Back-up Plan dropped to fourth with $7.4 million. Finishing out the top five was Brendan Frasier's family film Furry Vengeance which eked out a measly $6.5 million for its debut.

Box Office: Dragon Swoops In During a Slow Weekend

BuzzSugar — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 05:30:00 PDT

After last week's close call with Kick-Ass, the animated family film How to Train Your Dragon came out on top this time with $15 million. Unfortunately, the win is somewhat diminished by the fact that this weekend's box office had the lowest intake of the year thus far (perhaps everyone was playing outdoors?). Even the star power of Jennifer Lopez in newcomer film The Back-up Plan couldn't muster up big figures. It came in second with a modest $12.2 million.

Taking third was Date Night with $10.6 million, while The Losers debuted in its first week with a disappointing $9.6 million for fourth place. Following closely behind was Kick-Ass which dropped from No. 1 to No. 5 with $9.5 million.
