CinemaClown A fresh, funny & frivolous comedy that turned out way better than I expected it to be, Game Night keeps swinging from serious to ridiculous without ever losing its lighthearted vibe and benefits a lot from the jolly characters who are wonderfully brought to life by its cheerful ensemble.The story of Game Night follows a group of friends who meet regularly for game nights. Things take an unexpected turn one night when their role-playing mystery game that was arranged by the shady brother of one of them turns into a real-life scenario when he is kidnapped for real by burglars.Directed by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein, the film at first looks like a recipe for disaster but as plot progresses, it gets better, funnier & more engaging. The sense of fun isn't lost even when things take a serious turn and the directing duo do a neat job at pacing the narrative and keeping things light & breezy.Dialogues are sharp & witty, the entire ensemble does feel like a single unit, and the twists & turns are at times predictable while other times surprising. Editing is a major plus, unfolding the drama at a swift pace while trimming down whatever it can do without. And its synth score adds an energetic beat of its own to the mix.Coming to the performances, Game Night packs a reliable cast in Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams, Kyle Chandler, Jesse Plemons & others. And although everyone chips in with excellent inputs and seems to be having fun, the one who leaves the most lasting impression is McAdams who brings a certain oomph to her character that makes her moments even more fascinating.On an overall scale, Game Night is a smartly scripted, skilfully directed, brilliantly acted & cleverly humoured comedy that promises a good time and delivers it in sufficient doses. A genuine delight that's well aware of its strengths & limitations and knows when & where to draw the line, Game Night is an unexpected surprise of the year that's definitely worth a shot and is best enjoyed with friends & family.
