Game Night	comment	Game Night is an 2018 Black Comedy film (with additional action, crime, mystery and thriller elements) directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein and written by Mark Perez. The film stars Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams, and the supporting cast includes Kyle Chandler, Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Jesse Plemons, Michael C. Hall and Jeffrey Wright.Max Davis (Bateman) and his wife Annie (McAdams) are a Happily Married suburban couple with a mutual love of competition, which has led them to host a long-standing game night with other couples at their home. Unfortunately, Max and Annie are having trouble conceiving, which their doctor attributes to stress, due in no small part to the sudden arrival in town of Max's overbearing, one-upping brother Brooks (Chandler). Brooks crashes game night and invites his brother's group over to his own house the following week for a game night that he promises will "raise the stakes." Annie encourages Max to attend and beat Brooks at his own game, as a means of getting over his mental block.When the big night arrives, Brooks reveals that the game is going to be a murder mystery. As armed men barge in and drag Brooks away, Max and his friends initially think it's All Part of the Show; turns out it's a very real abduction, and Max will have to solve the mystery fast if he doesn't want it to turn into a murder.

Game Night / int_109dbb51	comment	Pull the Thread: Gary's efforts to do this and disprove Max and Annie's (admittedly rather feeble) lies about not continuing to host their games nights border on investigation and interrogation (fittingly, since he's a cop). This even leads to him writing Frito-Lay to confirm that they don't do three-for-one discount deals.

Game Night / int_19209d54	comment	Annie initially isn't very fond of Brooks, given that Brooks constantly undermines Max at practically any opportunity, and she blames the stress Max experiences from Brooks for causing them to have conceiving problems. However, when Annie catches on that Brooks is in severe danger and being held for ransom (though the first time was a sham conceived by Gary to include him in their game nights), she is clearly terrified and worried for Brooks' safety, and rather than encouraging Max to leave him for dead, she fully dedicates herself to save him.

Game Night / int_19d1c1ae	comment	Always Someone Better: A lot of Max's stress stems from the fact that Brooks manages to effortlessly outdo him at everything. However, it's ultimately subverted, as it turns out that the only reason Brooks manages to constantly win is through cheating, and his absurd wealth is due to very illegal activities. He also admits that all his lies about being a stock broker and venture capitalist were due to jealousy that Max actually went to college, has a legitimate job and is Happily Married. In Brooks's mind, Max is actually Always Someone Better because while his successes are more modest, he came by them honestly and has a much more stable and happy life.

Game Night / int_22cf50f9	comment	Chekhov's Gag: At the first game night, Ryan seems oddly obsessed with a random internet rumor that the wealthy elite hire poor people to engage in Fight Clubbing so they can bet on the outcome. When they go to steal a valuable item from a mansion, they end up seeing an underground fighting party, and Ryan is elated at being proven right. Max mentions wanting to "get the drop" on the Bulgarian through the top exit in the plane, but his entrance is uncoordinated and sloppy, so he gets seen. Annie later drops a fire extinguisher on the Bulgarian's head to knock him out and says, "Now that's how you get the drop on someone." Brooks's story about young Max's autoerotic misadventure with a bungee cord pays off when Max uses such a cord to tie the Bulgarian up on the plane, much to Brooks's amusement.

It even gives a close-up of their faces as they meet eyes and get flustered. A quick montage shows them playing other games and eventually Max proposing to Annie via a charades game, with the title appearing at their wedding (with DanceDanceRevolution behind them). It is bookended with Annie doing a Pictionary game outlining "bun in the oven" as her way of telling Max she's pregnant. It even gives a similar close-up of their faces as they smile at each other.

However, over the course of the evening she gradually becomes much more exasperated with his stupidity while he in turn becomes much more intrigued by her, until by the end he's apparently nursing a torch for her while she's completely over him. Her still coming to the group's game nights three months later, might mean they've managed to patch up their differences.

He enters the movie by making a big scene of arriving at Max and Annie's house, makes rather patronising comments about Max's life disguised as compliments, upstages, ridicules and humiliates Max in front of all of his friends and undermines him in order to beat him at the games. Annie is vocally disgusted with Brooks's behaviour after he leaves and notes that while she'd previously just assumed that Max's complex about Brooks was just down to standard Sibling Rivalry, after spending time with him she can fully see why Max has a problem with him. It's later revealed to be part of an Inferiority Superiority Complex; Brooks has lied about all of his achievements and hasn't actually managed to accomplish anything in his life without lying, cheating or breaking the law to do so, and knows full well that Max is actually the better person of the two of them.

Game Night / int_43dca18f	comment	Game Night Fight: Naturally, a constant occurrence as the competitive Max and Annie take their game nights very, very seriously. It gets very dramatic quickly when Max's brother Brooks appears to get kidnapped for real during their followup game night, and a lot of conflict ensues as they try to get him back. Subverted between Max and Annie, however; while they frequently get aggressively competitive towards others, their mutual desire to win never seems to cause any bad feeling or create a wedge between the two of them, and in fact appears to be a key driving force of their attraction to each other. While it may help that they're usually on the same team, even the few times we see them directly competing (such as the night they meet, when they are on opposing pub quiz teams) results in them either experiencing intense attraction to each other (the result of the former, for example, is the two of them passionately making out), or at least clearly still having fun. The one time we see them have anything close to an argument with each other is about something completely unrelated to games.

It's even eventually revealed that he'd rigged his game in the first place to let Max win his expensive car. Downplayed with Annie, however. While she's never outright mean or rude to anyone, she's insanely competitive and intense during games and can be rather derisive about people she doesn't care for behind their backs, (though that only extends towards Brooks and Gary). However, Annie is ultimately a loving and supportive wife to Max and an excellent and protective friend. At the end of the movie, she even befriends Gary and Brooks.

Brooks even beats him every time they play a board, card or party game. Subverted; Max learns during the adventure that all of Brooks's gains are ill-gotten and criminal - the secret of his success is to cheat like hell. Brooks actually looks up to Max because even though his life is not as flashy compared to his, he came by it honestly.

And it's later revealed that the only way Brooks could ever beat Max was by cheating.

This actually makes some sense as it shows Brooks is prepared for dangerous situations and the kidnappers were not high-end professionals, but petty crooks Gary recruited.

Ryan and Sarah find Brooks's wallet, which gives Sarah the idea to call the credit card company and find out the company running the game so they can bribe someone there to give them the final clue. Max and Annie decide to bypass the game entirely and just track Brooks's phone to find him instead. They split up again in Anderton's house to look for the egg, although Ryan stays right where he is because he wants to watch the fight club. He ends up finding the egg.

And then tipped the witnesses off, so they wouldn't be in any danger... for $20,000 each. Gary set up a majority of the night's events, which included beating up Brooks, assaulting a real actor, emotionally tormenting the others, especially Max and Annie, and Max getting shot. At the end, he's part of the group again, with no ill will towards anything they were put through. In fairness, though, he did get shot for real and severely injured shortly after his actions were revealed. Not only that, but all of his marital souvenirs ended up being covered in blood. Maybe they figured that was punishment enough. Brooks's original kidnappers are this, since they had a deal to have some minor crimes overlooked if they helped out, and they are let go once it's done (although they do get bruised quite a bit).

However, when Annie catches on that Brooks is in severe danger and being held for ransom (though the first time was a sham conceived by Gary to include him in their game nights), she is clearly terrified and worried for Brooks' safety, and rather than encouraging Max to leave him for dead, she fully dedicates herself to save him. The same can be said about Annie in regards to Gary. Moments after his introduction, when Max asks why they don't invite him to game nights, Annie says that Gary's ex-wife Debbie was their friend, while Gary was just the "creepy husband that we had to put up with". After Gary gets shot (the first time, through the chest, being part of his plot, and the second time, through the shoulder, being real), Annie is horrified. Alongside Max, she tearfully apologizes to Gary for shunning him, objects when he says he doesn't have any friends and that they don't like spending time with him, and admits to being selfish.

Game Night / int_bec0417c	comment	Happily Married: Max and Annie are clearly head-over-heels in love and supportive of each other throughout the movie. There is a wobbly moment when Max reveals that he has a slight case of cold feet over having a child, but it never becomes an issue that strains their marriage beyond some mildly wounded feelings and sarcastic comments, and they ultimately work it out. For that matter, while Kevin and Michelle have more tension throughout the film ultimately they're this as well. Kevin acknowledges that while he is kind of jealous of Michelle's fling, he also played away during their brief separation and ultimately just wants her to be honest with him. Tellingly, when he discovers that the guy she had a fling with wasn't Denzel Washington, he is more amused by her mistake than anything else.

Game Night / int_c04b1231	comment	Jump Scare: Ryan's first date Madison reaching through Max and Annie's window plays out this way, even receiving a horror-style setup of the two slowly approaching the window as they hear strange noises coming from behind. Max gets startled by Brooks walking in his direction with a large knife pointing at him (complete with Scare Chord), which he says he's simply using to cut butter. Ryan and Sarah get spooked by the "Murder We Wrote" employee, who's asleep when they find her, suddenly awakening in her chair with a scream, which sets off a Reactive Continuous Scream.

Game Night / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Game Night / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: There are tons of them. As the film revolves around games, many of them trivia-based, there are lots of references made during game-playing scenes. The name of the purple Teletubby (Tinky Winky) is a prompt answered by Max and Annie at the exact same time, which leads to their Meet Cute. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, The Crying Game, and Boys Don't Cry get name-dropped as guesses. Marilyn Manson ("shock-rocker, dated Rose McGowan"), Skeet Ulrich ("poor man's Johnny Depp, starred in Jericho"), Sam Neill ("he hated kids in Jurassic Park"), Skrillex ("dubstep DJ, looks like Corey Feldman"), and Picasso ("rappers love this cubist painter") all appear as guessing prompts. Brooks uses the long-circulated myth that Marilyn Manson had ribs removed so he could fellate himself to tell the story of Max getting caught trying to do the same as a teenager. When trying to get his team to guess Edward Norton, Max references Primal Fear and his Incredible Hulk film, but his team guesses all the other Hulk actors from films and TV series instead of that one (Eric Bana, Mark Ruffalo, Lou Ferrigno). He first identifies him to Annie as "the famous actor that we met at the airport about eight years ago", to which she guesses Bobby Flay. Ryan is shown walking out of a game saying that he can't believe he didn't get Bob Barker. The company that sets up Brooks's murder mystery is called "Murder We Wrote". Max complains that Annie has the advantage in paper football since she has smaller hands to form goalposts, to which Annie says, "Well, I guess you should've married Uma Thurman." Dr. Chin mentions Cain and Abel and the Baldwins as examples of how serious Sibling Rivalry can be. When Max and Annie's friends start entering their house through their windows, misinterpreting Max's request to "sneak in", Annie remarks, "It's like Night of the Living Dead in here." In gushing about Brooks, Ryan calls him "the Mark Wahlberg to Max's Donnie". Annie tries to flip it into a compliment by saying that Donnie was great in The Sixth Sense, although it's questioned if he was actually in the film (he was). Upon arriving at Brooks's huge mansion, Max compares him to Tony Stark and asks if they should give their drink orders to JARVIS. After kicking the (legitimately) downed Agent Henderson and finding that he's still not getting up, Ryan is impressed and calls him "a regular Daniel Day-Lewis". Michelle inadvertently reveals to Kevin that she once slept with a celebrity, and a majority of their interactions throughout the film are marked by Kevin not being able to move past that, at one point saying that he's "been living in the Matrix." She ultimately tells him that the celebrity was Denzel Washington, to which Kevin reacts in disbelief and promptly finds out that it was merely a man who looked like him. Kevin then starts doing a Denzel impression which ends with him saying, "The real Denzel ain't got SHIT on me!" After Ryan locks Kevin and Michelle in a room in Brooks's mansion, Kevin plans to burn down the door with matches. When Michelle points out the stupidity of lighting a fire in a windowless room that they're trapped in, Kevin, still frustrated from the above reveal, snarks that the celebrity must've been Bill Nye the Science Guy for her to know so much about fire. While trying to break out through the ceiling, Kevin tries to guess who the celebrity was. Upon Michelle saying that he was over 40 and American, he lands on Tommy Lee Jones ("ew, no") and Denzel Washington ("it wasn't, unfortunately"). Shortly after, he puts on a Denzel impression and references a line from The Hurricane: "Hate put us in here, but love's gonna bust us out." Annie does an over-the-top stick-up at a bar while quoting Honey Bunny's line from Pulp Fiction, which Max identifies by name. When Brooks tries explaining to Max and Annie that he's not who he's claimed to be and they're in actual danger, him bringing up the Bulgarian's egg prompts Max to remark, "'The Bulgarian's egg'? Wasn't that the third Harry Potter book?" When Annie complains that her phone's screen keeps turning off while she's trying to read the instructions to remove Max's bullet, he advises that she go into her settings and change the timing to prevent her phone from entering sleep mode. This level of detail just annoys Annie, and she replies, "What are you, Steve Jobs?" Ryan incorrectly refers to Marlon Freeman, the alias of Donald Anderton, as Morgan Freeman and Marlon Wayans. Kevin calls the fight club at the mansion "some Django Unchained bullshit" and "Eyes Wide Fight Club". Max describes his reluctance to settle down with Annie using Pac-Man as a metaphor. He says that when they used to play the game together, they stayed alive by eating the pellets and avoiding the fruit (since "that's how they [the ghosts] get you"), but neither of them ever made it on the leaderboard. Annie disappointedly deduces that Max believes that them starting a family will permanently bar him from "the leaderboard of life", and notes that Brooks is Always Someone Better to him because he's always "gone for the fruit", which is why "the ghosts" (the criminals after Brooks) are going to "eat" (kill) him. Once they start getting into the dangerous chases of the climax, Annie sarcastically asks if that's the "fruit" of their relationship Max had in mind. Come the end of the film, his "fruit" becomes starting a family. During the first of these scenes, Annie also notes that she would crush Max in Galaga. In confessing to Max that he cheated his way to success, Brooks admits that he had Max sit in a specific spot while they played Battleship as kids so he could see his ships. He then says, "I cheated at the Game of Life, and at the game of life." When racing Brooks's Stingray to the Bulgarian's plane in the climax, Max says that he has an idea that might be Crazy Enough to Work. Annie immediately responds that he's going to crash the car into the plane "like Liam Neeson in Taken 3", and that's exactly what he does. Annie remarks shortly after that Max is "not Liam Neeson"; it genuinely hurts his feelings, and she apologizes. Gary's String Theory includes VHS cassettes of Philadelphia, Braveheart and The Green Mile, which he watched in preparation for his own death scene. Gary also tries tries to convey The Green Mile in a Pictionary game where he just draws his crying face, feeling that this reaction would be enough to be understood. See Take That! below.

Game Night / int_cf511248	type	All Part of the Show
Game Night / int_cf511248	comment	All Part of the Show: The movie runs absolutely wild with this trope, Playing With it several different ways: Initially played straight: An "FBI agent" enters the house and sets up the mystery, when two very real armed thugs burst in and attack both him and Brooks before abducting the latter. These thugs aren't the mystery company's actors, but Max and the rest of the party guests assume they are and that the abduction is scripted. Inverted when the fake kidnappers arrive, brandishing prop guns. They're initially mistaken for real assailants but quickly break character when they realize something has gone awry. When Max and Annie rescue Brooks and find out the gun was real, they finally realize that it was not a game. This marks a turning point in the story where they don't dismiss what is going on. Subverted later on, when it turns out the abduction and subsequent chase was part of the show â€” Max's neighbor Gary hijacked Brooks's game to find his way back into the weekly game night. The thugs are real felons, but Gary hired them to add some realism to the game, including his own fake death by gunshot, in exchange for their parole time being reduced. Then it's Double Subverted: Gary actually didn't know anything about the MacGuffin that Brooks cheated The Bulgarian out of; when he shows up and shoots Gary, the players initially assume it's yet another plot twist. It isn't, and The Bulgarian kidnaps Brooks for real. Finally parodied by the film's end: Max declares that he's ready to have kids with Annie and accept the responsibility of being a father, to which Brooks leans in and tells them that he engineered the entire night's events, including millions of dollars' worth of property damage and at least one death, to teach his brother the lessons he needed to learn. As Annie and Max stare in shocked silence, Brooks tells the unconscious Bulgarian to get up and break character; he doesn't, and Brooks admits after a Beat that he's just fucking with his brother.

In the "three months later" epilogue, she's present at Brooks's game night, and Brooks says that she will be moving in with him once his parole is over. In Gary's initial interaction with Max and Annie, he spots that Gary is carrying three bags of Tostitos Scoops from the store, which seems to go against their insistence that they're not having a game night. Max claims there was a 3-for-1 deal on them, to which Gary asks, "How can that be profitable for Frito-Lay?" His String Theory display in the end credits includes a reply to an inquiry he had sent to Frito-Lay which confirms that Tostitos Scoops DO NOT come 3-for-1. When the kidnapper calls, Ryan is scared because he sounds like a monster. The credits show that the voice changer Gary used has a "monster" option. When undermining Max during the charades game at the beginning, Brooks tells the story of how Max was once caught trying to fellate himself with the help of a bungee cord. At the end, Brooks is amused to see Max tying up the Bulgarian with a bungee cord in a way that looks a lot like self-fellation.
