I can honestly say that I have never been so happy to miss a press screening in my life. Instead I went see the cerebral masterpiece 'Annihilation', which was screening at the same time as this, and of course, like every other critic in San Diego, I chose Garland's epic. Yet having left 'Game Night' this weekend, I realized the beatific aura that lurked in the air of a showing for it's target audience wouldn't have been as wonderful if I had viewed it in a room full of 10 critics. As a chorus of laughter overwhelmed the 7th screen at Edwards Mira Mesa theater, I began to notice the setting up of jokes three moves in advance creating genuine comedy and a checkmate of an ending.
