Extract (2009): B
Really quite funny but not over the top or crass. Jason Bateman is terrific in his typical straight-man role. Ben Affleck is also solid in a supporting role. The film was never hilarious but the characters were fleshed out fairly well and moved along without being excessively dull
Date Night (2010): C+
This should have been funnier considering the quality of actors in the film (Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, and a lot more people in minor roles). There were times when the film was funny but overall it was pretty disappointing and had an unnecessarily convoluted plot. Mark Wahlberg was funny in his supporting role and the guy who plays Leon on Curb Your Enthusiasm was amazing in his like three minutes of screen time.
