Two people, Male and female. Married. Typical right? Claire and Phil Foster are two people that live for their kids, they’re happily married and every so often they have a date night.
            The typical date night includes dinner at a family restaurant, and a menu consisting of potato peels and salmon. One day when they find out their friends are getting divorced because their love life was going downhill, they decide to make their next date night special. Phil decides to take his wife to the newest, hippest, restaurant in Manhattan, Claw. When they get there it is a full house, and because they did not make reservations, they are rudely rejected and asked to wait at the bar. Unable to get drinks at the bar because of how crowded it is, they decide to steal the reservations of the no-show Triplehorns. Bad decision. While they were enjoying high priced lobster, risotto, and wine, two men show up. Phil and Claire, who are slightly drunk, think that they are simply employees from the restaurant and willingly follow them out of Claw into a dark alley. Things start to change for the Fosters when the men point guns at them and demand for a flash drive. Totally bewildered, the Fosters explain how they are really not the Triplehorns and simply stole their reservation. When the men do not believe them, they have to improvise. They say that the flash drive is hidden at Central park in the boat house.  They lead them a boathouse in Central Park because Phil thought that night boating was popular, sadly he mistook New York City for Seattle Washington.  Claire cleverly leads them over to the floorboards and makes them bend down to get the flash drive out of the floor while Phil grabs an oar to hit them with over the neck so they will be disabled long enough for the Fosters to escape.  This plan succeeds!  Or it does until the Foster jump into a speedboat that averages about .76 miles per hour.  This slow moving disaster gives the men enough time to get up and start shooting at the boat.  Horrified, the Foster jump out of the boat and run through the forests until they’ve separated themselves from the men.  The Fosters go to the only rational place they can think of, the NYPD station.  They go in and talk to a detective about what happened, only to see the two men arrive in the building wear badges.  This is where the fact that they’re legitimate cops hits the Fosters.  They run out of the station and over to the nearest real estate agency to get some information that Claire conveniently remembered.  There is a man named Holbrook Grant somewhere in NYC that Claire showed houses to that is an expert in personal security.  The Fosters break into the real estate office and steal the information that leads them to Grant’s house.  Upon arriving, the shirtless Holbrook Grant opens the door and invites them inside all the while eyeing Claire.  Everyone sits down on the couch, and after the night’s story is told and Holbrook is asked to put on a shirt a few times, a plan in devised.  The Fosters use a cell phone number that was on the reservation list at the restaurant to find the exact location of the Triplehorns.  After the information is given and Holbrook is asked to put on a shirt a few more times, a loud knock from the police comes from the door, and the Fosters are forced out through the garage.  While running through the building trying to escape, they see a security camera screen bearing none other than the faces of the cops that have been chasing them the whole night.  Naturally Phil does the only logical thing; he steals Holbrook’s Audi and books out of the building right past the cops.  The Fosters drive to the address that Holbrooke gave them from the cell phone and climb the fire escape to get into the sketchy apartment.  After rummaging around for a few minutes, a man and a woman come out yelling at each other about how hard their life is.  They see the Fosters and begin trying to force them out the window.  Phil pulls out an antique gun he picked up at Holbrooke’s and turns it sideways for the dreaded kill shot.  The couple quiets down, and the Fosters tell them of their adventure.  Upon seeing what kind of trouble they’re in, the Triplehorns toss the USB at the Fosters and make a break for it, easily escaping. The Fosters are on the run again to deliver the USB and return home. While driving, they smash into a taxi and become attatched. Unable to get separated, the two cops show up again and off go the Fosters and the taxi driver. This situation actually works to the advantage of the Fosters because they are able to work with the taxi driver to escape the police. When the two cars get separated, the breaks no longer work landing the car, Phil, and the USB into the river. The only thing they had was lost. They head to Crenshaw, the person who was being blackmailed by the pictures on the USB. Claire dresses up as a stripper to get into the club where he was. Will their secret plan work? Well to find out I recommend watching this hilarious movie. It is absolutely brilliant and had the whole audience laughing.
