Most mainstream comedies these days are incredibly predictable and only good for maybe a handful of laughs. Game Night is not like these comedies. While some may see the "twists" coming, it's still enough to keep you interested while also laughing constantly throughout. Yes, Jason Bateman does play pretty much the same guy that he plays in everything, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as what he does it well. If you're looking for a comedy worth more than just a few laughs, I highly recommend this film
This expertly crafted film works as both a gut-bustingly funny comedy & a pulse-pounding thriller. Great performances across the board, McAdams & Bateman has great chemistry, & Plemmons steals the show as Todd.
This hilarious gonzo comedy has a sharp script, clever direction, and an excellent cast. In Game Night, writer Mark Perez and directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have crafted a tightly structured story with little visual tricks that turn out to be significant. That said, the movie really lives and dies by its cast, and this is a top-notch ensemble. Morris -- dependably funny on TV's New Girl -- gets laughs from his bubbling jealousy and dead-on Denzel Washington impersonation, clicking well with Bunbury. Horgan drily delivers as someone who's far too smart for her date; you'll likely wish there was more of her in the film. Magnussen is spectacularly idiotic as Ryan, which is a gift. Open-hearted blockheads are always welcome in comedies such as this, and Magnussen -- who's shown his dramatic chops in the likes of Birth of the Dragon -- hits it out of the park. Plemons' dead-eyed Gary generates big laughs by doing as little as possible. His stony "I see you" face and monotone delivery steal every scene he's in. (At one point, he happily invites the group into his house ... and, with a frozen smile, slowly backs into the darkness.)
And as Max and Annie, Bateman and McAdams have great chemistry. Their timing together, their small reactions to each other; they really read as a couple who love each other, have a lot in common, and accept each other's quirks. Oh, and they're really funny. Bateman, as usual, is an effective straight man with subdued wit. McAdams gets to be a little wackier than usual and has some superb reaction moments. They're an appealing pair, and we're happy to follow them through this gleefully bloody comedy with a fair amount of twists and genuine laughs.

This movie was a great comedy that also kept me guessing to the end. A lot of comedies turn me off lately because they rely too much on adolescent humor that's gross or mainly sexual jokes. This movie got laughs the old fashioned way and felt like a smart Cary Grant / Katherine Hepburn comedy. It also made me think of the types of British comedies you see Simon Pegg in.
There are a lot of reviewers who panned this quite harshly and when I read those reviews I feel like they were watching a different movie. I'd be interested to know how old these reviewers were - perhaps older people will enjoy this more than people in their 20s? (I'm in my mid-40s). Some complained about the acting - I think everyone was spot on. Some complained the plot was predictable - I actually found myself surprised at several turns the plot took and found it quite funny when the audience was clued into new information that the characters hadn't figured out yet.
Rachel mcAdams had great chemistry with Jason Bateman and the supporting cast were each terrific. The characters were well drawn and funny, and the side plots were all engaging and humorous. I was impressed with the writing and acting, and the pace of the movie never made me look at my watch to see how long was left. I definitely recommend it.

I watched "Game Night" on an 8-hour flight back from Denmark immediately after watching another comedy, "Blockers." While "Blockers" had some funny moments, compared to "Game Night" it came across as a random assortment of gags, and the importance of a tight script in a comedy was made clear in the comparison.
"Game Night" is very funny, mostly because of the winning combination of Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams, but this is the rare comedy that gives all of its actors moments to shine. Good, funny comedies are extremely hard to come by, so if you've been searching in vain for one, give this one a try.
Grade: A-
