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.

Critics Consensus

With a talented cast turned loose on a loaded premise -- and a sharp script loaded with dark comedy and unexpected twists -- Game Night might be more fun than the real thing.

The long joke of the narrative is adroitly handled, and for once the climax pays off in laughs.

The movie is a hollow throwback to classic comedy, and it shines only by contrast with dull studio competition.

3/5

The spoofy action set-pieces are ho hum. What's special is the minutiae-based, casually political banter.

3/5

Its great screenplay allows for a little more storyline and suspense then what we expect from most comedy films while Jason Bateman once again shows why he is the current king of comedy.

4/5

Flush with snickering hilarity and scoring plenty of points for swerving surprises, Game Night is infectiously entertaining with any cheese it serves.

Harkening back to the mid-budget comedy movies that have sadly disappeared from the mainstream, Game Night is the sort of breezy movie that has great potential for universal appeal, if only people are able to find out about it.

Game Night was hilarious and very entertaining. It's one of those few comedy movies that you could watch again and still laugh.

Such funny actors and a great story with a wonderful ending. This movie surprised me in the best way and I'd be happy to watch it again.

Soo well done! Acting was great! And when things would happen that would initially make you roll your eyes, but you'd realize they knew it! It was very funny! We are a tough crowd and this movie won us over.

Incredibly fun popcorn movie

Entertaining movie with a lot of fun people in it. I loved the Friday Night Lights reunion with Kyle Chandler and Jesse Plemons. I laughed a lot. Couple negatives for me: there were two scenes in particular that really slowed down the movie (one being the get bullet out of arm scene). And I thought there was one too many twists at the end. But this is definitely a good date night movie.
