Let’s go on the trip, Patrollers! The DVD Patrol is back on the voyage to find some good picks for the week and find a few things along the way. The guy at the head of the pack, the Toddster, is once more on point and has found some options during the hot summer season where we might need a break to cool off or one to take care of the weary traveler. Here you are!
New on DVD
Date Night - It’s always a good idea to break out of your old routine once in a while. Someone forgot to tell that to Phil (Steve Carell) and Claire (Tina Fey). Phil knows that he loves Claire a lot but their everyday life is becoming a bit boring and it needs to be spiced up a bit. He decides to take her out to dinner during a week night which is something not ordinarily done. They try to get into the most expensive restaurant in town but can’t get in until they hijack another couples’ reservation who didn’t show up. Might not be the best idea when some crooked cops mistake Phil and Claire for some suspects who may have some incriminating evidence on them. It becomes a race through the city as our favorite couple try to find out what is going on while staying ahead of the bad cops. Will this night be their last date? Carell can currently be seen in “Dinner with Schmucks” now in theaters and Fey can be seen on Thursdays on “30 Rock” when the new season starts up in September.
Death at A Funeral - Sometimes you can find something funny during a sad time. Aaron (Chris Rock), Ryan (Martin Lawrence), and Norman (Tracy Morgan) haven’t gotten together in a long time and after a death in the family brings them back, the craziness sets in. Aaron finds out just what their family member has been doing leading up to his passing, Ryan finds out what he’s been missing since he’s been gone, and Norman has to find a way to get everyone into the funeral to get everything done on time. Can they get it right? The Toddster has raided the Patrol Vaults for some good DVDs with Chris Rock that include “Head of State,” and “The Longest Yard,” and also stars with Adam Sandler in “Grown-Ups” now in theaters.
