Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault The more you identify with these guys, the more your laughter may be tempered with 'Ouch.' Rated: B Aug 13, 2007 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Mar 3, 2007 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com It's all done in fun, of course, but hey -- if you're going to tease a bunch of geeks, you may as well do it aggressively and with much enthusiasm. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 19, 2006 Full Review Erik Childress eFilmCritic.com It took all of about six minutes for me to be scream laughing with the kind of ferocity that draws the attention of neighbors; not annoyed but desperately wanting to enter the room and find out what is so damn funny. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 18, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

tre m This was about as cringe as possible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I love gamers, so this movie was a win Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny, hilarious, and down right wrong at times. Great fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a mockumentary about gamers preparing for breaking a record with their amazing streak of playing a thinly-veiled Dungeons and Dragons weekly for 23 years. Some parts are genuinely funny, but I was disappointed to see less gaming-related humor and more juvenile, gross-out humor. The interview portions were generally okay, but trying to force petty drama between the characters was lame. What the film really needed was more footage of actual gameplay, especially since they state having all 23 years worth of games recorded. Films about table-top RPGs may not have a large potential audience, but the potential of this film subject is much greater than this example. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A poor parody of the Dungeons & Dragons game and it's players. It goes too far into absurdity without actually being funny. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member wowee zowee...i sure am glad i avoided the whole rpg scene. yikes! ;) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
