Generally- I am not a fan of "Stupid" Movies and rarely have I been pleased with Happy Maddison's choices for projects to fund... but this movie was hillarious! First of all: the concept is solid. It is not a "stoner" comedy- it is a dork movie. Anyone that has ever loved/played or been interested in video games should see this movie. Anyone that enjoys comedies where "old people" act outside of expected norms should see this movie. Concept gets a strong rating. Acting is well done. Grab the Happy Maddison regulars, an excellent cast for the "older women" and some nice ancillairy comics to round it out and you have a great chance at producing something comical. What really sells this movie is its script. The longest you will go (probably) between laughs is ten minutes... tops. Truly hillarious!
What's great about it: Great Script, Decent Acting, Brilliant Concept
What's not so great: DVD Extras could be fleshed out some for a sales point
