I was not expecting it to be good, but what a surprisingly hilarious movie. Jesse Plemons killed it.
Kudos to the directors too for some really interesting techniques.

There's so many great little nods and easter egg type things in this movie.

At the beginning when Batemen and McAdams are making out on the train the scrolling sign behind them says "Don't Trust Gary":



Monopoly References: Gary is the Dog piece, Brooks is the Car Piece, Brooks' rental house is on Boardwalk.

Other game references:

Simon Says : When she's got the gun on the kidnappers in the bar
Hot Potato: With the Egg
Charades: At the airport
Operation: When she's trying to remove the bullet
Jenga: The pile of wood blocks that one couple builds to try and get out of the locked room.


When the guys at the end ask Michael C Hall's character if they should kill the rest of them he says: "They've done nothing wrong" and then pokes Brooks in the forehead (like Dexter) and says "Only This One".

Three for one? How can that be profitable for Frito Lay?

As the camera slowly pans in closer to Plemons as that entire sequence progresses.

If the Academy weren't so full of itself, this movie would be up for a ton of Oscars. Great comedy. I laughed so hard I almost stroked out.

I thought the directing/production was extremely unique.

Good movie overall, I wouldn’t say it was hilarious but it was funny and also had some very well written plot/lines

Watched this with my wife tonight and had a great time. Agree with everything already mentioned. The long take of them playing hot potato with the egg was impressive.

Freaking Dexter as the bad guy was just one of many little joys on this flick.
