Phil and Claire Foster (Steve Carell and Tina Fey) are a sensible, loving couple with two kids and a house in suburban New Jersey. In an attempt to take date night off auto-pilot, Phil takes Claire into Manhattan to the hottest new restaurant. The Fosters, however, don't have reservations. Hoping to be seated sometime before the clock strikes twelve, they steal a no-show couple's reservations. Phil and Claire are now the Tripplehorns. The real Tripplehorns, however, it turns out, are a thieving couple who are being hunted down by a pair of corrupt cops for having stolen property from some very dangerous people. Forced on the run before they even finished their risotto, Phil and Claire soon realize that their play-date-for-parents has gone awry, as they embark on a wild and dangerous series of crazy adventures to save their lives-and their marriage.
