Who doesn't like Jason Bateman? Seriously! This guy can play the quirky but confident next door neighbor in anything and pull it off, and he does again in Game Night"! Not quite all comedy, not quite all thriller or action, but all fun! I will admit I was a bit tipsy while watching this but remember having a ton of fun in the theater. The premise is the main couple met on a game night and has been involved with game nights including their friends throughout their whole relationship. They all take it way too seriously and even exclude certain people from it due to not meshing with the crowd. Well the rich, successful brother comes to join one night and decides to take it up a notch by using a real life scenario kidnap type of game, what could go wrong? Great actors, funny situations and your typical shtick that is modern and campy but very well played out. This is a definite to go see with some friends and drinks!
FYI: Denzell Washington has a cameo in this film, and another at the end (or does he)?
