About Game Night

Max and Annie's weekly game night gets kicked up a notch when Max's brother Brooks arranges a murder mystery party -- complete with fake thugs and federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it's all supposed to be part of the game. As the competitors set out to solve the case, they start to learn that neither the game nor Brooks are what they seem to be. The friends soon find themselves in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn over the course of one chaotic night.

Our take on Game Night

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein's 2018 comedy turns a suburban couple's weekly game night into something genuinely dangerous. When Max's slick brother Brooks stages a murder-mystery party with fake thugs and phony federal agents, a real kidnapping unfolds under cover of the game, and the competitive friends charge in assuming it's all part of the fun. Each twist tips the night further off the rails. It's a crime-comedy that plays its mystery seriously enough to keep you guessing while mining big laughs from oblivious contestants. A smart pick for a group looking for something sharper and more plotted than the usual studio comedy.
