Wow what a pleasant surprise considering its from the same director that did Vacation. Never thought it be that high scored.

I also don't like that they used the "Misirlou" song made famous by Pulp Fiction in their trailer. That song should only be connected to Pulp Fiction for now on. Sorry.

"Oh that song? That's soooo 'Game Night'!!"

I'm pleasantly surprised that this is well received so far. I like the cast and it could be fun, but man those trailers were rough.

Pleasantly surprised by the positive reviews thus far. Though, Spy was incredibly well received and I thought it was a streaming pile of garbage, so.

Buuuuut I love me some Rachel McAdams in any capacity.

Even though I don't think it's 100% the same, that song always reminds me of the PS1 game Jet Moto. Had very similar style music in the soundtrack.

It's Rachel McAdams ... do you need more?

All trailers for comedies suck. Either they give away all the funniest jokes, or they botch the funniest jokes by presenting them out-of-context.

I wouldn't say all comedy trailers suck... but this one looked particularly awful. Not one laugh.

That's how I felt when I saw the trailer to 21 Jump Street...then I rented it months later, and found myself laughing a LOT by the end.

Not sure why you're arguing with me about this.

Some crappy trailers turn into good movies, that's not news.

I don't put too much stock into trailers, but not even the premise of this movie sounded appealing. Glad to hear it's not awful.

Know what? I'll take this over the bottom of the barrel, white hot garbage that's passing for comedies these days.

I like Spy, but thought the trailers were kind of poor.

IGN tends to be generous with comedies. They gave Fist Fight a 7.8, The Boss a 7, Vacation an 8, Bad Grandpa an 8.5, ect.

I saw this at a free preview two weeks ago and enjoyed it a lot. The story is ridiculous but the cast does such a great job with it. Unlike the Vacation reboot, this had a group of people geniunely into it. It really helps deliver a lot of the dark humor and is a fun time.

I want to see it again tomorrow night because I loved it that much.
