Fast-paced. Funny. Fun.
A married couple, Max (Bateman) and Annie (McAdams), love to host game nights for their friends-Ryan (Magnussen), Kevin (Morris), and Michelle (Burnbury)-but when Max’s hotshot brother, Brooks (Chandler), comes to town, he hijacks the party. Relocating game night to his mansion, he sets up a more dangerous game involving a kidnapping and detective work, but things become a little more intense than planned, and the rest of the party begin to wonder what’s real and what’s just part of the game. Rapid-fire dialogue and cultural references, a devious, ever-spinning plot, and excellent performances, especially from the very loveable leads Bateman and McAdams, make Game Night a blast.
