The already star-packed, Steve Carrell and Tina Fey couple-on-a-date-gone-awry comedy “Date Night” has just added Ray Liotta, Mila Kunis and Mark Ruffalo to already impressive cast. Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, Taraji P. Henson, Common, Leighton Meester, Kristen Wiig and Jimmi Simpson were previously announced for the Shawn Levy helmed film.
