1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid at all cost....even free, July 25, 2008

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....

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Painful, May 25, 2008

By 

Bryant (Commack,NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gamers (DVD)

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.
