I saw it 2 days ago at 4:30 and there was only 2 other people there. I thought the movie was okay. I'm not really a fan of current comedy films though. Horrible Bosses might be the best one I can remember of late.

Late to the game but I finally caught it. Enjoyed the second half much more than the first. It was in one of the smaller theaters but there was a decent crowd. Most arrived during the trailers. Nice little twists.

Saw this tonight (thanks, MoviePass) with my gf - we were the only ones in the theater - and we laughed our asses off.
I hadn't even seen a trailer and knew next to nothing - perfect way to go into this.
Great cast, lots of solid laughs, sharp humor, and the tension of not knowing what's real, what isn't, and what's coming next made for a potent combo.
Only moment where it lost me for a bit was
Outside of that, had a blast. Apparently we missed the post-credit scene, too. Guess we'll just have to watch it again.

I loved that most of the movie was shot like a horror/thriller movie. It was really effective and well done.

Really had a lot of fun watching this. Bateman, whom I'm kind of lukewarm on since he generally plays the same kind of character, was great alongside McAdams. Also nice seeing Michael C. Hall. Hope this bodes well for The Flash movie and that perhaps Vacation was just a fluke. 
3.75/5

Managed to watch this one.
Very funny movie...lots of clever black comedy.
Good comedies are hard to come by these days...this one is worth a watch IMO.
Bateman and McAdams have good chemistry together, although Jesse Plemons almost steals the show.
Kyle Chandler also does a very good job.

This was mildly entertaining. Got a laugh or 2 out of it. Kyle Chandler was woefully miscast and should not do comedies. I normally like him going back to Homefront and especially Early Edition.
Everyone else was decent but overall it just didn't bring the laughs like I was expecting.

Not sure why I didn't write when this originally came out. I saw this with a friend on opening week and we really liked it. I got the Blu-ray when it came out and my wife enjoyed it. This weekend, we showed the kids, skipping a little dialogue here and there, and they loved it. The dog in the bedroom had them rolling on the floor laughing.
