Narratively, Game Night is a fairly loose spoof, with screenwriter Mark Perez (Accepted, The Country Bears)
adhering closer
to the
rules of the dubious, aforementioned civilians - in -
trouble subgenre, meaning that we get lots of scenes of Bateman, McAdams, and company pratfalling in and out of sticky situations.
They include, in R v Poirier, the rights that govern how long the police can hold you before bringing you before a judicial officer (and what
trouble they might get in for not
adhering to these
rules).
