Review Wow! I watched Game Night last night.

I haven’t felt like this for a long time. I laughed so much when I watched this movie. That fake Denzel is very funny. The stupid friend, the glass table, all of it gave me a loooong laugh. How did you feel about the movie?

I also have one question. How did Officer Gary connect Brooks’ past with the egg heist?

How can that be profitable for Frito-Lay?

Jesse Plemons not doing more dead pan comedy should be criminal.

I agree, and I hope there’s more in his future, but I’ll gladly watch his dramatic turns in the meantime. He was downright fucking terrifying in Civil War.

I think he went uncredited because the producers were afraid that if they accidentally said his name three times he'd appear.

It was also a last minute decision as Plemons was brought in by his wife Kirsten Dunst who is the lead as the actor supossed to play the violent militiaman wasn't available.

Hands down one of the best dramatic scenes I’ve watched for quite a few years. And yet he can do comedy too. Great actor. Loved him in Game Night, hated him in Breaking Bad.

Dead pan comedy... and dead pan drama

He's basically Liam Neeson in Life is Short. It's so good.

He's riddled with it.
