The Game

About This Movie

So, 'The Game' from 2017 has a bit of a quirky vibe. It’s about these four guys who treat picking up women like some sort of sport, which is a premise that could easily flop. But then you've got this character Elyse, played by India Summer, who really flips the script. Brandon, played by Ryan Driller, has some serious realizations throughout the night that add layers to what could've been a straightforward comedy. The film captures this strange mix of tension and humor, and even though the pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, it really leans into the themes of ego and vulnerability. Definitely a unique take on a tired trope, worth checking out for those who appreciate the subtleties in character dynamics.

This film isn’t widely available, which adds to its allure for collectors. There are a few limited releases circulating, but finding a copy in good condition can be a challenge. Interest seems to be picking up, mainly due to the strong performances and the interesting narrative choices. It’s not a mainstream title, so those who seek out indie films might find it a tasty morsel for their collection.
