Noche de juegos Ratings & Reviews
- tellum2 de abril de 2026Way funnier than expected, the story is shockingly well written considering the premise.
- bluri25 de abril de 2025A fun, strange, meta comedy with a bunch of twists when an ordinary game night turns into a wild and unpredictable adventure.
- Tristan Thede16 de abril de 2026Wow, just not what you would think happens actually happening. Great movie.
- ርልዪረ20 de febrero de 2025Directed by the writers of Horrible Bosses, Game Night has that same vein of dark humour running through it as a group of couples inadvertently get involved in a kidnapping during a murder mystery evening. While the situation is played for laughs, there is a grittiness to the film at times that helps accentuate the grim humour and gives some weigh to the actions of the core characters. The plot undergoes plenty of twists and turns throughout, and while the character’s initial obliviousness to the danger of their situation is what drives the first act, there are multiple reveals that change the narrative of the film throughout its runtime. Without wanting to spoil too much, the film often reminded me of the classic Michael Douglas movie, The Game, but with a comedic slant. Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star as ultra-competitive quizzing couple, Max and Annie, and it is their love for games that brings them together with their friends every weekend for a Games Night. Bateman plays his typical sardonic lead role, with Max coming across as somewhat of a cross between his parts in Horrible Bosses and Arrested Development. He does deadpan extraordinarily well, although he doesn’t get the opportunity to develop the character beyond exasperated and flustered. McAdams is more of a revelation to me, and she did a tremendous job at balancing out Bateman’s aloofness. Not only was she funny in her own right – the scene where she had to perform emergency first aid using instructions from her phone was hilarious – but she was a believable wife to Bateman’s character. While I wasn’t familiar with the actors who played the other two couples, they did a brilliant job at supporting the main cast. I was particularly amused by Lamone Morris and Kylie Bunbury, who played high-school sweethearts Kevin and Michelle. After discovering Michelle had slept with a celebrity during a “break”, Kevin becomes obsessed with discovering who it is and the eventual revelation (and the twist) was pitch-perfect. I also loved Jesse Plemons as the creepy loner neighbour, Gary, who had been alienated from the group ever since his wife left him. Plemons easily stole the show in all of the scenes he appeared in, evoking a weird method-actor vibe to him. He is a tremendous actor – his work as Todd in Breaking Bad and El Camino is testament to that, but I loved this transition to comedy and how he can play both ‘scary-creepy’ and ‘funny-creepy’, if the need arises. Obviously the most important element of a comedy is whether the jokes are funny or not, and while there are some moments that don’t land (the awkward scene in the fertility clinic), there are some great set-pieces that made me laugh out loud (the box on the conveyor belt). Tonally, the film certainly shares the same DNA as Horrible Bosses and often tips its toes into taboo waters with its morally ambiguous characters. There is an edginess to the film that I really like and the darker humour helps the film stand out from the glossier, light-hearted offerings out there. The film subverts expectations from the outset, and I was surprised at how quickly it dropped the “characters don’t realise events are real” premise. I’d expected it to last almost the whole movie, when in fact, it is only really a fraction of the plot. This is great as I feel it would have stretched credibility too much to have these intelligent characters oblivious to the truth for the whole film. As fun as the film is, the plot does suffer from a few issues as it seems like the majority of the film involves driving from place to place in a scavenger hunt. The central mystery surrounding the kidnapping becomes somewhat convoluted mid-way through the film, although I loved the surprise reveal of who the ringleader was and was disappointed that the actor wasn’t in the film for longer as he plays the charming psychopath role extremely well. The film also manages to incorporate some genuine character development for its couples and Bateman’s dickish brother, allowing each of the participants the opportunity for some personal growth. Game Night not only succeeds as a comedy, but it also works as a mystery too, with plenty of twists and turns to the plot that genuinely had me and my wife fooled. On paper, Game Night could easily be a light-hearted farce that leans towards broader comedy but directors John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein manage to maintain their penchant for dark humour throughout. Fans of the Horrible Bosses franchise will certainly recognise and enjoy the ‘gallows humour’ of Game Night, and there are plenty of genuine belly laughs to be found in the film. Refreshingly bold and extremely well-written, Game Night is one of the funnier Hollywood comedies in recent years and manages to weave in a compelling plot amidst the self-fellatio jokes. It might not achieve classic status, but I highly recommend checking out Game Night for your movie night.
- Sheila Rose11 de abril de 2026This is a perfect movie for a Friday movie night with friends, lots of fun!!
- bbecker4216 de febrero de 2026This is one of my favorite comedies, especially from this century. I shut off my brain to enjoy most movies, so I can't exactly tell how tightly-written the "mystery" part of this is written, but the "game" part of this movie is extremely well done. Theres a solid amount of things to notice on a re-watch, the cast is impeccable, and I particularly adore how they got creative with the cinematography when they definitely didn't have to. The deadpan delivery from the police officer is hilarious, and I think about the gun/bar scene from time to time and smile. Overall, I wouldn't change a thing about this movie, except maybe more lines out of the dumb guy, not a single one of those missed. Not that there's really any lines in this movie that dont hit their mark. I was trying to go to the theaters today, but even on Valentines weekend, all Hollywood put out was horror flicks, so we stayed in and watched this instead. If instead of the litany of horror movies, the theaters were showing movies like this, I'd be at the cinema every weekend.
- BEAULONEA29 de noviembre de 2025From start to finish, this movie was a blast. Watch while this group rolls the dice on a game night they'll not soon forget. Super funny!
- afterthemagic2 de noviembre de 2025forever one of my favorites
- Nathaniel “KingBear” Reifenheiser19 de octubre de 2025Alright, Jason Bateman—great. Love watching him in almost anything. He’s got that perfect voice for sarcasm, let’s all be honest about that. Rachel McAdams? I’ve had a huge crush on her forever, and I still do. She’s beautiful, talented, and just fun to watch in pretty much everything. Combine these two and make them big tabletop-game nerds, and you’ve got a fun movie. I wish they’d gone even deeper into that trope, personally, I think it would’ve been awesome if they’d been playing D&D, but that’s just me. This movie is fun, plain and simple. It’s a murder mystery that gives you part of the answer early, then gleefully twists itself into chaos as the characters dig deeper. I won’t give anything away, but the rewatchability is low since most of the tension comes from not knowing what’s going on. That said, the scene where they’re both almost vomiting had me rolling. “Hurk...” “Don’t do that—hurk!” “Hurk!”
- Chris Morehouse17 de octubre de 2025This movie tries really hard to keep you guessing, and in the end succeeds because the reveal makes little sense. That theory you have, that changed 3 times throughout the movie? Yeah, they are all correct.
- Alexander Sierputowski13 de julio de 2025Fun light hearted action mystery
