Ready or Not

THE GIST: Shortly after her wedding ceremony, a newly minted bride is informed by her new in-laws that, as per tradition, until dawn on her wedding night, she's going to be hunted to the death by all of her new family. Only if she makes it out alive will she be part of the clan.

Ready or Not is a very dark, tongue in cheek comedy that I found to be a lot of fun.

I am a bit embarrassed to say that when I saw the poster I thought the leading lady was Margot Robbie, while in reality it's Samara Weaving. My apologies, and hats off for a nice performance.

She's joined by Adam Brody, Mark O'Brien, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell, who rarely plays the bad girl but seems to have plenty of fun here.

THE BOTTOM LINE: It clearly needs to be seen with an open mind, but I enjoyed it plenty.

Grade: 8
