a5c7b9f00b A group of friends who meet regularly for game nights find themselves entangled in a real-life mystery when the shady brother of one of them is seemingly kidnapped by dangerous gangsters. Six close friends meet each week for a game night involving board games, charades and pop culture trivia quizzes. Being the most competitive of the bunch, Max and his wife Annie, who seem to be a perfect match in every way, usually win every time. However, their marriage is on rocky groundAnnie fears that Max doesn&#39;t want to have children. When Max&#39;s shady brother Brooks reappears after a long mysterious absence and suggests that they have their next gathering at his place, no one expects that their weekly game night is about to go to the next levelBrooks organizes a full blown murder mystery party complete with actorscriminals and cops for them. However, when Brooks is violently kidnapped in front of everyone, it turns out that the game is all too real. Now, Max, Annie, their womanizing dimwitted friend Ryan, his domineering Irish date Sarah, and their childhood friends Michelle and her husband Kevin, who&#39;s obsessed with finding out with which mysterious celebrity Michelle cheated him on once, must join forces and their wits to rescue Brooks from two dangerous rival criminals who seemingly want his head. Unfortunately, they&#39;ll also need help from their creepy introverted next door neighbor Gary, a grieving divorcee cop who desperately wants to be their friend. This is genuinely funny. They either did a perfect casting job or wrote the script from everyone&#39;s personalities because the people we watch on screen are certainly people like us - <br/><br/>Plot got a bit wack and unrealistic near the end but whatever I just got out of seeing this. My eldest seen a preview a few weeks back and his review was &quot;You&#39;ll like two bits, but you probably won&#39;t laugh&quot; so I had pretty low expectations going in.<br/><br/>I was shocked to see my screening over half full,I deliberate choose the showings I do,they are normally empty!! <br/><br/>I thought it was stupid, predictable and unsure a little, of what it wanted to be!! But it was ok, and I didn&#39;t hate it,I did smile and chuckle a few times. The two bits my son was referring to me liking, was the use of two Queen songs. Kind of says it all that the use of two songs was my favourite parts of the movie. There are chuckles here and there, but a striking absence of belly laughs; Girls Trip it’s decidedly not.
