Max and Annie's weekly game night gets kicked up a notch when Max's brother Brooks arranges a murder mystery party -- complete with fake thugs and federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it's all supposed to be part of the game. As the competitors set out to solve the case, they start to learn that neither the game nor Brooks are what they seem to be. The friends soon find themselves in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn over the course of one chaotic night.

To me, this movie is perfection.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This comedy was not a great film but it was enjoyable. It is original and funny in parts. There's even a twist at the end.

Really don't understand the negative reviews! This was a great non stop comedy thrill ride. The action was great.. many laugh out load moments. One of the most entertaining films I've seen in a long time!! And great to see Dexter make an appearance!;

If you are over the age of a millenial you will be so annoyed and disappointed. I love Bateman but clearly he is padding his retirement (and I can't blame him for that). Still reeling how embarassingly stupid this movie was. If you want to see the great sleeper film that i'm guessing was the inspiration for this piece of garbage - check out 1986's April Fools Day.

A fresh, funny & frivolous comedy that turned out way better than I expected it to be, Game Night keeps swinging from serious to ridiculous without ever losing its lighthearted vibe and benefits a lot from the jolly characters who are wonderfully brought to life by its cheerful ensemble.The story of Game Night follows a group of friends who meet regularly for game nights. Things take an unexpected turn one night when their role-playing mystery game that was arranged by the shady brother of one of them turns into a real-life scenario when he is kidnapped for real by burglars.Directed by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein, the film at first looks like a recipe for disaster but as plot progresses, it gets better, funnier & more engaging. The sense of fun isn't lost even when things take a serious turn and the directing duo do a neat job at pacing the narrative and keeping things light & breezy.Dialogues are sharp & witty, the entire ensemble does feel like a single unit, and the twists & turns are at times predictable while other times surprising. Editing is a major plus, unfolding the drama at a swift pace while trimming down whatever it can do without. And its synth score adds an energetic beat of its own to the mix.Coming to the performances, Game Night packs a reliable cast in Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams, Kyle Chandler, Jesse Plemons & others. And although everyone chips in with excellent inputs and seems to be having fun, the one who leaves the most lasting impression is McAdams who brings a certain oomph to her character that makes her moments even more fascinating.On an overall scale, Game Night is a smartly scripted, skilfully directed, brilliantly acted & cleverly humoured comedy that promises a good time and delivers it in sufficient doses. A genuine delight that's well aware of its strengths & limitations and knows when & where to draw the line, Game Night is an unexpected surprise of the year that's definitely worth a shot and is best enjoyed with friends & family.
