This movie was everything that we could have hoped it would be. It was fun, clever, predictably happy-ended, and it got the psychology of our demographic (late 40s, married with kids, average in most every way) just right. Steven Carell and Tina Fey were great together. The action sequences were thrilling enough, but they were also imbued with enough humor to make the audience howl. Oh, yeah, Mark Wahlberg had a relatively small, but endearing, role to play in the absolute success of this movie.
My wife pointed out that the movie used some very adult language, at times -- not profanity, exactly, but adult. Many parents would not be comfortable with their teens watching this movie, even though it is rated PG13.
This movie was great fun and we left the theater saying to each other, why aren't there more movies like this one?
