Game Night

I will admit, you give me a movie with Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams together and there is a slim-to-none chance that I’m going to hate it. I will see almost anything with either of these individuals, so put them together and you have one of my theatrical dream-team duos. It’s actually hard to believe that they haven’t done anything before together since they had a natural ease with each other in this film. “Game Night” is a very funny movie. It is strong from the start and doesn’t really ever fizzle out. It was great to Jesse Plemons and Kyle Chandler together again as a huge Friday Night Lights fan. I enjoyed see Plemons in a more comedic role. He was hysterical playing the odd neighbor you never want to invite over. The story got a bit absurd towards the end but overall was an engaging story with a steady stream of humor and jokes.

Grade: B+
