Plemons' dead-eyed Gary generates big laughs by doing as little as possible.
Open-hearted blockheads are always welcome in comedies such as this, and Magnussen - who's shown his dramatic chops in the likes of Birth of the Dragon - hits it out of the park. Magnussen is spectacularly idiotic as Ryan, which is a gift. Horgan drily delivers as someone who's far too smart for her date you'll likely wish there was more of her in the film. Morris - dependably funny on TV's New Girl - gets laughs from his bubbling jealousy and dead-on Denzel Washington impersonation, clicking well with Bunbury. That said, the movie really lives and dies by its cast, and this is a top-notch ensemble. In Game Night, writer Mark Perez and directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have crafted a tightly structured story with little visual tricks that turn out to be significant. This hilarious gonzo comedy has a sharp script, clever direction, and an excellent cast.
