Review of Game Night

Game Night (I) (2018)
7/10
Good Enough.
26 February 2018
A pleasant 90 minute entertainment competently done. I kept laughing almost to the end despite the increasingly convoluted reversals. The comic tone was well maintained, which isn't as easy as it looks. Because it's a Warner Brothers production, it helps to think of it as a live action Looney Tunes, which is why the sometimes painful injuries that characters suffer repeatedly seem to have no consequences two minutes later. Plemmons was brilliantly creepy. Bateman and McAdams will never make anyone forget William Powell and Myrna Loy in the Thin Man series, but they have excellent chemistry together, and the last shot foreshadows a sequel if the grosses are high enough.
