This is a good entertaining movie if you are looking for a few hours to kill. I wouldn't say its a "great" comedy movie. It's a notch below crowd favorite comedies such as 21 Jump Street or Horrible Bosses. It belongs more to the B level class of comedy movies such as Horrible Bosses 2 or Central Intelligence or Due Date or Hangover 2 etc. There is nothing ground breaking about the plot, some of the wise cracks are great but the mundane almost cliche to the point plot that you can actually foretell what's going to happen next puts a dampener on any comedic flourishes. The plot is really tired, basically a mishmash of The Game, Hangover and whatever the script writer wanted to throw at the wall. I went to see this movie because it had an above average rating on IMDB and for a comedy (or horror) it's tough to even get rated high so I thought it would be a somewhat higher quality affair. But it seems to me that the rating systems are somehow manipulated these days such that average movies such as Game Night garner much fanfare. Or is the the Moviepass crowd being more forgiving to such excursions?
