      Audience Member ANOTHER GAMER BASH a not so flattering account of my gaming group, FYI: Bryan and Adrian Lefler declined my offer to go boffing (foam swordplay) with us... Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly well made film with great acting, and a lot of laughs. Feels like Napoleon Dynamite for gamers. Even better after multiple views. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of laughs without being mean. Occasionally the writing lets it down, but that's definitely the exception rather than the rule. It's not too serious, and if you think the idea has potential, then you'll probably enjoy the result. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Where the video games come alive. If you read the title correctly, you would think it's a little kid's film, especially for girls. Even the title design gives the same impression, more like a fairytale. But shockingly, this film was very different. This is about the gamers, the people who are crazy about video games. It was like a comic con, the film characters decide to create a utopia for the gamer with their favourite gaming characters. So they gather outskirt of the town and when everything was going well, they bump into a series of trouble, especially the founder of it. Coming out of it is the rest of the film to reveal. It is not my favourite, but one of the best B movies I have seen and a bit refreshing. My appreciation is according to how they managed to give this product with the limited financial support. The quality of the film was so good. The performances were well recognisable. Since it was a comedy, sometimes the flaws are gone unnoticed. Not a bad attempt for the first time direction. Though the story was easy, predictable, but still enjoyable. Surely some people will find it good, even better than I did, so I hope this film reaches them instead of those who criticise it. 7/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it! Great cast and story Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny, but also emotional enough to make you care about the characters. A small band of dreamers band together to defeat Uncle Rico (John Gries), the evil dungeon master. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Bruce Bennett Spectrum (St. George, Utah) This low budget, Utah produced fantasy gamer comedy should be a colossal failure but good writing, an able cast, and a Napolean Dynamite spirit make for surprising, if odd, fun. Rated: B Apr 16, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
