I want my money back

To say I hated this movie is too weak a description. It is offensive, gross, stupid, and unfunny. There are many good gamer movies out there and it gets confusing because they all have similar titles. Unfortunatley this is not one of them. If you have any respect for gaming, or any respect for yourself for that matter, don't waste your time with this one. There are absolutely no redeeming qualities about this story. One out of five stars is too generous a rating. August 23, 2008

Gamer Hater

This movie is not only not funny, it's also mean. It doesn't parody the genre or the gaming hobby, it just makes fun of it. If you are a gamer, this movie will probably offend you. If you're not a gamer, you won't be offended, but neither will you be amused. August 23, 2008

Hilarious!!!

If you know or are an RPG gamer, then this is quite possibly the funniest movie you'll ever see August 6, 2008

Avoid at all cost....even free

Are you an RPGer? Then this movie isn't for you.

Are you a fan of comedy? Then this movie is definitely not for you.

I rented this with low expectations to begin with, but since I was a roleplayer I figured there would be some decent "inside jokes" about gaming and it might be at least enjoyable.

WRONG!

The very little it does have on actual gaming is just juvenile and plain stupid. I've heard it compared to Napoleon Dynamite...not even close. I found absolutely nothing enjoyable in this and would sue the makers for the time back if I could. It really is that awful. I think I softly chuckled at maybe two or three little bits, but those are quickly forgotten under the deluge of lame attempts at humor everywhere else in the film.

Don't waste your money, don't waste your time. Please.... July 25, 2008

Painful

It's supposed to be about a group of roleplayers setting a new record for hours spent on a single campaign, but it's actually a painful pseudo-documentary about crude, pathetic losers who don't even like each other. It panders to the worst stereotypes about gamers, because roleplaying is an easy target to pick on. There's really very little about actual gaming. The movie mostly focuses on bad attempts at low-level humor.

If the phrase "splattered with horse semen" revolts you, run.

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Worst.
Movie.
Ever. May 25, 2008
