  • Everyone knows that one super-competitive person. The one who will bury your nose in their victory or flip over the table in defeat. Yet we love them because they’re family and it’s usually only during game night that their inner beast emerges. With the recent resurgence of table top games, bringing family members together (Exploding Kittens), tearing them apart (Monopoly), or out-right traumatizing them (Cards Against Humanity) has never been more exciting or fun. Like a good game night, some cinematic adventures require a solid group to truly bring out the magic inherent in the experience. Fully embracing the potential chaos game night possesses, co-directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the team behind 2015’s "Vacation", use a script from Mark Perez ("Accepted") to set about pushing one group of suburbanites out of their comfort zones and straight into the danger zone.
