Game Night











Armed with Writer Mark Perez’s witty and hilarious script, Co-Directors John Francis Daly and Jonathan Goldstein have created a delightful film experience with Game Night.


Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Rachel McAdams) are brilliant at Trivia and Charade- type games and host regular game nights with their friends Michele (Kylie Bundury) and Kevin (Lamorne Morris) and Ryan (Billy Magnussen) and whoever he is currently dating, which eventually includes Sarah (Sharon Horgan).  

When Max’s older brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) comes to town, he invites the group to his rental mansion for a “game of games” that is to include a fake kidnapping. 

But, unbeknownst to the group, Brooks has run afoul of a criminal known as the Bulgarian and is kidnapped in front of them.



What follows is a hysterical romp, once the group realizes the kidnapping was real and tries to rescue him.
If you want to have fun at the movies, then Game Night is for you.  I give it a 4.2 out of 5.
