	Author	Review
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"'Game Night' really isn't very good (...) It’s hard to argue that anyone should spend time or money on this (...) The film exhausts itself — and the viewer"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The movie manipulates its audience in cunning and puckish ways. It’s no big whoop, but you’re happy to have been played."	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[It] is as packed with laughs as it is with everything else (...) 'Game Night' works so hard to win viewers over that it eventually finds its way to a winning formula."	POS
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams roll a comedy winner (...) It has a grand high concept premise (...) a deluge of fun actors (...) and a strong sense of character and plotting."	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"'Game Night' belongs to that particular brand of big-screen crazy (...) where chaos reigns and logic fails, but you keep laughing just about hard and often enough not to care."	POS
United States	Stephen Whitty New York Daily News	"Frantic fun (...) A lot of the jokes are surprising, and one gag (...) pays off terrifically (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"[A] comedy that’s directed with a little pizazz (...) This tame but fitfully funny goof on suspense cinema at least assembles an agreeable guest list"	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"There’s a likable, and at times, stylish slickness to 'Game Night' that makes it a pleasant, high-spirited watch (...) It’s a pleasure to see McAdams back in light (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
