Six close friends meet each week for a game night involving
board games, charades and pop culture trivia quizzes. Being the most
competitive of the bunch, Max and his wife Annie, who seem to be a perfect
match in every way, usually win every time. However, their marriage is on rocky

Seems like I rarely review comedies. I don’t know why this
is, but my guess would be I don’t find them funny. I’ve reviewed stand up
comedy specials, yet when it comes to comedy films I just don’t. Well this time
around I am reviewing a comedy it is called GAME NIGHT. Having seen the previews and liking
what I saw and knowing it starred Jason Bateman I figured I’d give it a
shot. Upon viewing I felt there
were some good laughs and awkward situations that made for some giggles woven
into a wild story. I was hoping for more laughs and gags we’ve never scene
before. So in the end for GAME NIGHT I give it 2.5 stars of 5 and give it a low
recommendation.
