It honestly was the end of an era. I caught Game Night, Father Figures and Tag all in second run theaters around 2017/2018. What people back in the day called "dollar theaters". So much fun. But they rarely make comedy films for the theaters.

Let’s be honest: it’s pretty rare to watch a broad comedy nowadays that you don’t have to make excuses for. All too often we wind up having to say things like, “Well, the plot sucked but at least I laughed a lot,” or “It was funny but it went on half an hour too long.” And then of course there’s the dreaded, “I just turned off my brain and enjoyed it,” as if a movie that only works if you’re dumber than you actually are is something worth celebrating.
So it’s a real treat to watch a comedy as sharp as Game Night, a film with a clever screenplay, memorable characters, tight pacing and impressive filmmaking across the board. It may not be the funniest movie ever but it’s still extremely funny, and it works on basically every level.
In other words, you can enjoy Game Night without making any apologies. It’s just a good movie.
It takes real intelligence to make the best dumb jokes. Game Night has plenty of both, combining skilled filmmaking and ridiculous gags in equal measure, and letting the seriousness and silliness play off of each other for maximum effect.
