It's not as funny as it wants to be, but I did have like 3 laughs.

The ending credits actually has a tostitos gag that made me laugh harder than anything in the rest of the movie though surprisingly enough

I watched it on a plane, which seems to be exactly what this movie was made for

I agree

Ive noticed its started to gain more of a cult following which is a little surprising, its very decent but I dont see it as much more than that

Yeah I expected it to be funnier, but it's still a decent flick though.

I liked it and have seen it a couple of times. Nothing amazing, but still hilarious, especially in recent years. Their dumb friend who goes "I'm the CEO of Cyberdyne systems" was the best part.

I found Tag to be funnier than Game Night, but Game Night is stil the "better" movie imo if that makes sense.

Yeah, same as with the filmmakers' other movie Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves. That one did even worse at the box office, but has had persistently high streaming numbers.

It's such a damn shame it bombed at the box office because that movie was legitimatedly good and funny. I had a friend who plays a lot of tabletop RPG's like DnD and he said the movie absolutely nailed the spirit of TableTop RPGS like to be fighting against the Dungeon Master with semantics.

He has been in a number of funny movies since his adult career was resurrected by Arrested Development but the movie that absolutely makes me laugh so hard was "Bad Words" It honestly went under the radar and I think it might be his best movie. Between that and Identity Thief in the same year 2013 was a banger for him.

slightly below Horrible Bosses, definitely above Horrible Bosses 2, none touch his work in Arrested Development

Oh I actually really liked Tag and consider it both better and funnier. It's a wholesome silly fun premise, and you can't go wrong with both John hamm and Jeremy Renner, then you add in both Jake Johnson and (for those hangover fans) farce-comedy veteran Ed Helms to boot. I feel like I'm forgetting someone but it's okay I can edit my post in post.

Very briefly.

The focus is more on a "live murder mystery" game that the main character's brother is running.

His line about the 3 for 1 tostitos deal that Jason Bateman lies about so he doesn't think there is a game night is my favorite line in the movie

When they were both trying not to vomit I laughed pretty hard. But ultimately not as funny as I was expecting

And they knew it was their best joke in the movie because the ending had a similarly hilarious callback with the investigation board into tostitos.
