Directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein ("Vacation") collaborate again, this time with writer Mark Perez ("Back Nine") to bring us this R-rated dramedy (it's funny until it isn't, and then it is again) which shows us what happens when games become too real.
Part of the cast:
- Jason Bateman ("Arrested Development") Max enjoys games and winning; on the other hand, he has nothing but unhappy memories of his brother.
- Rachel McAdams ("Spotlight") Annie also loves to win, but she also wants a baby.
- Kyle Chandler ("Bloodline") Super-sibling Brooks is new to this little game thing but he is ready to dominate them, especially his brother Max.
- Jesse Plemons ("The Post") Lonely Gary has always been a cop, been super focused, and been a bit of a misfit. He used to love Game Night at the neighbors' house.
- Billy Magnussen ("Get Shorty") Ryan isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but his dates make him look brilliant in comparison.
- Lamorne Morris ("New Girl") Kevin can't help it if he gets a bit jealous, can he? Of Denzel?
- Kylie Bunbury ("Pitch") Michelle almost gets away with that Faberge egg!
- Michael C. Hall ("Dexter") Hey Max! Do you wanna meet that Bulgarian you just Googled?
- Danny Huston ("Wonder Woman") Anderton just wants his lucrative scheme to keep printing money.
Make no mistake, this is NOT Art!
