Game Night is a funny movie. Game Night is a crazy movie. Game Night is a movie full of surprises. Game Night is a movie full of crazy crazy surprises. How high-profile Hollywood comedy is able to meet the above description? Not much. In the modern era-where mainstream comedy is often too lazy while the representative of the indie domain that is hailed is sometimes busy throwing criticism until it forgets to joke-The Hangover (2009) and Horrible Bosses (2011) enter the criteria. By coincidence, Game Night duo duo John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are the people behind the creation of the latter movie script.

Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Rachel McAdams) are spouses of game lovers. Both always address the game as seriously as the competition, including when holding a night game that is done every weekend with some friends. But the night of the game was different. Brooks (Kyle Chandler), Max's more handsome sibling is also rich-superiority that makes Max depressed until his sperm quality declines-is visiting then proposes to improve the challenge of the game. Apparently there are companies that offer the services of an interactive role-playing game of mystery.

I'm always excited and a little intense when playing cluedo, so I'm not hard to imagine the enthusiasm of the characters when a similar game (as if) brought to the real world. So enthusiastic, they did not realize when a real kidnapping took place in front of the eyes, thinking it was part of the scenario. The movie itself takes time to creep up, but once stomping Game Night reluctant to step on the brake pedal and I was reluctant to play this game quickly end.

Wrap his black comedy was held totally without restraint, so the blood splashes and brutal death also formed a tingle situation. One of the bloody events was when Annie accidentally shot Max's hand. Armed with a potluck-but expensive equipment-which he bought at the minimarket, Annie tries to look after her husband's wounds. Mediocer comedy will only use the expression of pain and disgust of the actor. Game Night, armed with the creativity of the maker, also took advantage of the sound of toy decks. I will not reveal details, essentially this film combines a variety of elements to lure cuteness, including sound, whether sourced from the property or players.

Verbal comedy, reference-studded joke, slapstick, visual gag, please select. This movie has it all. Daley and Goldstein cleverly put the timing also chose a comedic booster shot. They know when a sudden silence as punchline should appear, as well as what kind of camera angle to wrap the silence. I was busy facing the rush of laughter until I had not expected a sudden twist to ambush. Game Night is full of surprises, well-related grooves, comic timings, character behaviors that generate funny situations nan stupid unexpected, to other creative elements including action bands that unexpectedly look exciting. Even Liam Neeson would not be able to tackle a plane as neat as Max and Annie.

Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams wove solid chemistry, complement each other, joke each other. Bateman is funny, but watching McAdams, as a figure who throughout his career rarely plays a role in comedy silliness, is more fun and refreshing. Dancing while playing a pistol, showing off the shock with the "mobile phone lag" level while watching someone die with an airplane sucked off the plane, McAdams is obviously having fun. So am I.
