“Game Night”

“Game Night” –  Rotten Tomatoes, 82% favorable from critics; 84% favorable audience…

Two word review: not funny. No one in the audience laughed – maybe one giggle somewhere. A death sentence for a film that’s only redeeming feature is it’s a comedy. Before the movie, the previews for other upcoming supposed ‘comedies’ were so beyond repulsive (the word ‘vile’ comes to mind), I completely understand why many respond to the word ‘Hollywood’ with disgust. In regard to ‘Game Night,’ we left after enduring almost an hour of awkward, unlikable characters and ennui. Remember, no one in the audience was laughing.
