    I rarely watch movies twice much less urge others to watch movies. This has so much heart and so much fun! I had to relive it and share it!

    Yes, fine...it brought me back to being a kid and trying to beat these games. It's more than that though. These guys found a way to challenge themselves and dedicate their time to making a name for themselves. Sure, it's just donkey kong but it's a terrific lesson of life: never give up. Keep going. Always move forward no matter what's in front. I'd recommend this to everyone....especially game nerds from the 80's. Good times!

    This is a great story that portrays real life drama, and real life douche-bags. You gotta love Steve Weibe, he shows he not only has DK skills, but also has class. Now that Billy "chewbacca" Mitchell is a story in himself. If you want to see the definition of cowardice played out in person, watch mr. Chicken wings for ten minutes. He shows his true colors (yellow) in this film and you can see that his donkey kong records are all that he had in his life, and he doesn't even have them anymore. Just a classless, arrogant, nerdy douche bag that thinks way too highly of himself. On a personal note, I've been to his "restaurant" in Florida and I can tell you that the chicken wings from my local pool hall are 10 times better than his so called "world famous" wings. The bathrooms are even nastier than Billy himself.
  • Watch this documentary... watch it now!

    After watching this movie I had a hard time believing that it could have actually happened, but after some research am inclined to believe it did. What you expect is a bunch of nerds with too much time on their hands, but instead you're treated to an almost Shakespearean tale of courage, perseverance, deceit, betrayal, etc... Almost everyone in the documentary is instantly memorable, from the jedi-like father figure of the referee to the sinister, self-confident 'villain'.
