Date Night a remake?

Just watched a trailer for the upcoming DATE NIGHT, starring Liz Lemon and Micahel Scott. Excuse me, starring Tiny Fey and Steve Carrell. Actually the movie would be good either way, although Michael's character would inevitably be named Michael Scarn...
Anyway, the movie appears to be a riff on Alfred Hitchcock's THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, in so much this story has a couple that is accidentally thrust into a predicament because of mistaken identity. Although, as I type this, it reminds me more of NORTH BY NORTHWEST, because of the mistaken identity. Yeah, I think I like that better.
Here's the trailer. What does it remind you of?
