Critics Consensus

With a talented cast turned loose on a loaded premise -- and a sharp script loaded with dark comedy and unexpected twists -- Game Night might be more fun than the real thing.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader The long joke of the narrative is adroitly handled, and for once the climax pays off in laughs. Mar 9, 2020 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker The movie is a hollow throwback to classic comedy, and it shines only by contrast with dull studio competition. Mar 5, 2018 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard The spoofy action set-pieces are ho hum. What's special is the minutiae-based, casually political banter. Rated: 3/5 Mar 4, 2018 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment Its great screenplay allows for a little more storyline and suspense then what we expect from most comedy films while Jason Bateman once again shows why he is the current king of comedy. Rated: 3/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Flush with snickering hilarity and scoring plenty of points for swerving surprises, Game Night is infectiously entertaining with any cheese it serves. Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Harkening back to the mid-budget comedy movies that have sadly disappeared from the mainstream, Game Night is the sort of breezy movie that has great potential for universal appeal, if only people are able to find out about it.

Quinn R Fun idea but could have been executed better. Felt like a lot of the twists were disjointed. (53%) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Samuel L So funny and good, listen, If I still owned a Blu-ray player, I would buy the Blu-ray, that's a bold statement, I'd even go as far as to say that if I saw a Blu-ray player on sale at Walmart for less than $32, I'd buy it just so I could get that movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review thiago s Filme legal pra cacete, o roteiro é legal, as cenas são boas, o elenco é mais ou menos, e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, a história é bacana, os personagens sao bacaninhas, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Alexander T This movie is awesome. It’s very funny, while also being a great action film. It has a cool plot too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review kabo R Mediocre acting, miserable attempts at jokes and irony, a sequence of scenes with no merit or reason. Astounded that they managed to put plot holes in such a flimsy story. Leave this one be, it's actually wasted time Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Giuseppe N Funny, good script, excellent cast. And Rachel McAdams is as talented as she's gorgeous (a LOT!)
