So sad ...

There are some great pieces of gamer culture out there. This is not one of them. The budget seems to be pretty good, which is a shame, because the movie turns out to be so awful. It's not really even ABOUT the game, but rather about the real lives of the gamers ... who are all caricatures and stereotypes. Compared with "The Gamers", which you can find in about five parts on YouTube, this is pretty abysmal. It really is sad, because "The Gamers" obviously had a budget of about $20, and manages to poke fun at "that guy" in the gaming hobby while still treating the hobby as a whole with affection. When my buddy and I realized that the movie was halfway over and we had still only seen bits and pieces of the actual game (and had only given up some token "pity-laughs"), we put in a different movie. I really wish I could say that I liked this film more than I did, because I love RPGs, and the guys who made this probably do too.
So funny I almost peed.

This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I watched it with my brother-in-law and we kept compairing the over-the-top characters with members of our gaming group. I think that's why the characters are so fun. They remind you of someone you know or even of yourself...in a crazy, way out there kind of way. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll love this movie. Well, there's also the fairly continuous swearing. Depending on who you are, you'll either love it or hate it. Just be warned. They embrace repetative and creative swearing.

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.

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.
Hilarious!!!

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