We like the idea of Tina Fey and Steve Carell starring as a couple in a movie together. It just feels right. Usually it isn't until after a movie comes out that we are convinced of a couples' chemistry, like Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling in "The Notebook" or Jonah Hill and Michael Cera in "Superbad," but this one we have a feeling about.
Tina and Steve have the same type of comedic mojo that works so well together, and we knew they were meant to star in something as a pair from the start. So, in honor of them, we decided to put together a list of some other comedians we thing should have a "Date Night" someday soon, too.
Check out our full list after the jump!
NATALIE PORTMAN AND ANDY SAMBERG
We don't care that the main reason Natalie Portman recorded "Natalie's Rap" for the first Lonely Island album was because she was dating Andy Samberg at time, the two of them were hilarious in that video. She's already showing off her comedic chops with the upcoming "Best Buds," and no one needs to ask us twice to watch an Andy comedy. Together they would have the perfect chemistry on screen that would keep us coming back for more.
RUSSELL BRAND AND KRISTEN WIIG
In their own unique ways, Russell Brand and Kristen Wiig are equally outrageous. But they also create the perfect balance of in-your-face and tongue-in-cheek ridiculous. We only needed to see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" viral videos like "We've Got To Do Something" to be willing to watch every since thing he ever does, and with films like "Knocked Up," "Adventureland" and "Whip It!" she has proved that she is more than just the most hilarious part of "Saturday Night Live." Plus we want to see what sort of crazy circumstances would bring the two of them together onscreen.
CHRIS PINE AND EMMA STONE
It's mostly just because we like Chris Pine and Emma Stone so much on their own that we want to see the two of them hitting it off together onscreen. We can picture them in some sort of buddy cop comedy, with her running around in super high shiny leather boots and him looking sexy no matter how many bumps and bruises he gets.
CHRIS PRATT AND ANNA FARIS
OK, so we kind of cheated on this one because clearly Anna Faris and Chris Pratt are going to have good chemistry with one another. They are married after all. But the comedic pair have never shared screen time with one another, and we think that's a problem. The simpler solution would be for her to guest star on an episode of "Parks and Recreation," but we think they should just skip that minor step and jump straight to feature films.
JAY LENO AND CONAN O'BRIEN
Come on, it has to happen. It has to. Maybe not in a feature film, maybe not on a "Crossfire" themed episode of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," and maybe not even at an awards show, but there needs to come a time when Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno square off face to face. Though we option for choice D: all of the above.
Which comedic duo would you love to star in a film together? Would you pay to see any of our suggestions?
