Game Night

“Game Night,” which is about a group of friends involved in a murder mystery game night that becomes real when the host (Kyle Chandler) is actually kidnapped, is an R-rated comedy that thankfully isn’t about immature adults throwing a party.

There has been a glut of raunchy R-rated comedies featuring adults trying to recapture their youth by acting like college students. The mold was set by Todd Phillips’ “Old School” in 2003. Phillips went onto helm the “Hangover” trilogy.
