It was a story begging for the big screen. Over the years 50 different filmmakers had tried--and failed--to win the rights to re-tell the true account of how a fledgling baseball team of poor kids from Monterrey, Mexico, turned the 1957 Little League World Series upside-down. When the original team members finally agreed to sell the rights to one W. William Winokur--who had no previous film experience, but would ultimately pen the screenplay--The Perfect Game was conceived. There's no reason to doubt Winokur's affection for their story. However, his re-telling of it shows his lack of film pedigree.

Date Night is a film that tries to be a lot of things: A comedy, an action movie, a madcap family-friendly adventure, a "perfect date night movie," and a feel-good star vehicle for two of network television's most familiar faces. Usually when a movie tries to be too many things, it fails miserably. Date Night, however, manages to succeed in most areas, thanks mostly to the charisma and chemistry of its two lead stars.

In the eighth or ninth century, an unknown Irish monk, in a playful respite from his normal work, penned in the margins of a Latin New Testament manuscript an affectionate ode to the mouse-catching prowess of his white cat. That monk would surely be astounded to find Pangur Bán again commemorated in pen and ink over a millennium later, romping across backgrounds that look at times like the decorative work of the monks themselves, brought to cinematic life.
