Game Night (2018)

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Such an amazingly enjoyable film, hysterical, funny - just outright hilarious. Worth watching!!

Title says it all. You'll laugh, just not during the whole movie.

I had mediocre hopes. Really dumb movie. Just lazy writing. Good cast, had potential. Just bad

***** SPOILER ALERT *****I LOVED this movie! It was another throwback from the 80s - 90s movies that wasn't all about educating society or enlightening them to whatever (fill-in-the-blank) issue educating us to whatever Hollywood's most recent "cause" is, but simply entertains. The actors fit their parts perfectly. The storyline is riddled with so many holes, you could squeeze through them, but I didn't care because I was too busy laughing at the truly non-gross-out humor we so rarely get to see these days. Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams (as Max and Annie respectively) were seriously challenged as the best actors in the movie by the entire rest of the cast, including a cameo at the end by Michael C. Hall (Dexter). Lamorne Morris (New Girl) and Kylie Bunbury played the very funny couple who spend most of the movie discussing a one-night stand she had with a Hollywood celebrity (or she thought) before they were married, and Billy Magnussen (Into the Woods) and Sharon Horgan play the hilariously mismatched couple, Ryan and Sarah whose main humor is his total ignorance about everything and her rolling eyes at how stupid he is. Then there was a surprising turn by Kyle Chandler who plays Max's wealthy brother, Brooks, and Annie's creepy next door neighbor, Gary, who coincidentally is played by Jesse Plemons - both Chandler and Plemons starred in the great TV show, Friday Night Lights together. This group has serious chemistry all together, including the small part Michael C. Hall has.As a comedy, I would probably peg it as somewhat slap-stick. But if you just sit back and just watch it as it is, without thinking too hard about it, you cannot help but laugh at the genuinely funny things that kept happening as the story progressed. It actually reminded me a little bit of Saturday Night Live in it's early days, before it became a political mouthpiece. There was continuous chatter between the characters, no matter how serious the situations they were dealing with, which made it even funnier. I suspect this is another movie that the regular folks like me will love. The artsy-fartsy folks will be scratching their heads wondering what the heck just hit them. To say Jason Bateman, so excellent in the Netflix show Ozark, has serious comedic flare is an understatement. Having seen Rachel McAdams in other comedies, this was a lark for her. If you can put aside your need for total reality for one night and just sit back and let it flow over you, you will love this movie. I wish they made MORE like this today! I gave it 8 Stars because it's not a great movie, but it's a FUN movie. It's entertainment of the purest form. At nobody's or group's expense. It pretty much sends up all stereotypes, and is an offend-free movie. Highly recommended. The best time I've spent watching a movie in a while! Rent it and watch it. So NOT a waste of time.
