Co-directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, Game Night is a hilarious movie that follows a group of friends with a standard get-together for game nights. Games consist of charades, board games or whatever the host provides. The group finds themselves trying to solve a murder mystery after one of the hosts, played by Kyle Chandler, takes the game up a notch. The game becomes real, and it is just not for fun anymore.

Writer Mark Perez crafts a brilliant, clever story that takes the cat-and-mouse theme to a new level. Rachal Adams and Jason Bateman are still the show in the movie trailer. I recommend you watch it. You’ll have great laughs, and it will lift your spirits.
