Factual error: Max could not have been accidentally shot when Annie drops the revolver. She dropped it when she was startled by firing it into the ceiling so the hammer would still be sitting on the spent/empty shell casing. The trigger or hammer must be pulled back in order for the cylinder of a revolver to rotate to the next live chamber.

Trivia: In the scene where Max and Annie talk about their potential future child, there's a throwaway line about child-actors not amounting to much later in life - a bit of an inside joke, as Max is played by Jason Bateman, the rare child-actor whose career actually improved after he became an adult.

Answer: Brooks was kidnapped by Gary's fake kidnappers. Everything to do with his kidnapping was set up by Gary. Gary did it to make people realise he'd be fun at their game night. However, Brooks was in league with the actual criminals and assumed they were responsible, which is where the mix-up happens. Eventually, the real criminals show up in the third act. Basically, it's two separate storylines that converge at the end through a comedy of errors.
