Game Night Theatrical Trailer (2018)

Theatrical trailer for Game Night.

Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max's charismatic brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it's all part of the game... right?

But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this "game" -- nor Brooks -- are what they seem to be. Over the course of one chaotic night, the friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn. With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they've ever had... or game over.

What the heck?!? Michael C. Hall -- aka Dexter -- is in this trailer for Game Night. Did you catch it?

I'm going to be honest. I think the first trailer for Game Night was much better than this second go. And why? Because of the music selection of course! Following the fast pace of the music, the original preview provided a ton of laughs that didn't require much context. And now we have a video that is trying to explain the story in more detail, and we don't necessarily need that.

I'm definitely going to be catching Game Night in theaters opening weekend. Sure. Just expected better.
