Co-starring Beau Bridges and Christian Slater, it's an inside look at the world of video gamers that will have you cheering the whole way!

Memories...It almost makes me cry because the classics were the best. I loved those times. The 1980's were the best years of my childhood. End of conversation..Score: 5/5
One of my favoritesYeah it was a big advertisement for Nintendo but it was a movie with a great heart and was all about family. I secretly wished to do this same thing and run away and play games but I never was that good as this is. Funny and sad movie and overall good time road trip..Score: 4/5
The WizardI love this movie with all the friendship and teamwork. I can't believe that the kid was a wiz at video games and I love video games..Score: 5/5

My favourite movieI've tried to dislike this movie. Most of my friends think it's dumb, and a good number of people online agree. But I can't hate it. It is just a good movie. It's a very large piece of my childhood. i never get tired of watching it. Plus, "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.".Score: 5/5
NostalgiaThis objectively is not a great movie but it’s full of references and things that anyone who grew up in the late 80s will love. In summary, good and fun movie for 80s kids and video game fans but definitely not for everyone else..Score: 4/5

Clearly a Marketing PloyI love this movie. Yes the plot sucks, yes the character motives make absolutely no sense and Jimmy is a poor representation of what autistic kids are really like. But I loved it. The characters are unforgettable (no matter how hard you try to forget them) and as a marketing ploy disguised as a movie. It worked. As a gamer, all this movie did was make me want to play video games and brought me back to the good old days of the classic NES and all the accessories it came with (both good and bad.) Vive la Nintendo!!.Score: 4/5
Awesome MovieThis movie is awesome and I was born in 2000 but I think this movie is awesome because I'm a kid that's more into the retro games than the newer ones.Score: 5/5
