Romantic Comedy Trailers - 'Date Night'

 The fifth trailer I am going to analyse for genre is:

Date Night

  • 20th Century Fox - common production company for rom-coms
  • Married couple with kids - they may be the obstacle of the narrative
  • Movie based on a date that goes horribly wrong - romantic and comedic
  • Steve Carell - actor usually found in rom-coms
  • Sarcastic jokes/casual conversation in times of crisis
  • Exaggerated violence
  • Good looking, rich, topless guy who can save the day, which makes the husband feel emasculated
  • Euphemisms
  • Car chases - comedic rather than threatening
  • Tagline split into different parts
  • Music stops after a joke for comedic effect
