4/3/2018 0 Comments Game Night Movie ReviewReally well acted, directed, and it was insanely enjoyable. I laughed in this film more than any other comedy I've seen in a decent while. Not all of the humor hit but a large majority of it did. It's so rare nowadays for a comedy to have genuinely great directing. This film has some really nice aerial shots that the houses actually look like a game of Life. Acting is amazing from everyone and I genuinely could believe the relationship from the two main leads (Jason Bateman and Rachel Mcadams). Actin g is pretty serviceable from everyone else besides Jesse Plemmons gives an almost perfect deadpan comedy performance.
Alright now that I've praised this film I think it's time we get into some of the negatives. Once again not all of the humor hit, the plot gets way too convoluted, there's way too many references that a majority of people won't understand, and the plot resorts to an average comedy plot. The plot starts off with a simple enough concept but they throw a few too many twists and turns, also I feel as if the second and third act could have been more inspired. When that comes around the film is very reminiscent of past films such as Central Intelligence and The Hitman's Bodyguard. The flaws are few, but pretty major. While I didn't think the film was great, I still think it's pretty good and would recommend it to just about anyone. It's definitely one of the best and most inspired comedies I've seen in a while. I don't really see anyone watching this and thinking it was boring or that they didn't have fun. Overall this film was good and I'd give it a solid 7/10 Original Watch Date: 2/25/2018
