Mark Wahlberg and James Franco are joining Steve Carell and Tina Fey in 20th Century Fox's Date Night.

The Shawn Levy-directed comedy will also star Leighton Meester, Common, Taraji Henson and Kristen Wiig.

In the film, Carell and Fey will play a married couple who find their routine date night becomes much more than just dinner and a movie. The movie was written by Josh Klausner.

Variety says Wahlberg plays a successful and crazily buff securities expert who flirts with Fey's character. Franco portrays a not-too-bright con man and petty criminal. Meester is onboard as the couple's babysitter. Henson plays the one good cop who believes the couple is in danger, and Common portrays a villain. Wiig rounds out the cast as the actress' best friend.

This could come off really funny or really stupid, considering the cast.

I heard that Carell and Fey were doing a film. I thought it was just going to be another romantic comedy... sounds interesting but I hope Whalberg/Franco doesn't take too much thunder away from Carrell and Fey.

I'm on board with this from just the cast alone.
