A Wonderful Deviation into a Video game-like World

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2010)

By far my favourite movie ever. This particular movie did not get the best reviews by movie critics, but recently I have found that a good 50% of movies that critics rave about tend to be just awful while movies they claim are terrible are actually good.
Who should and should not see this movie? This movie is NOT for people who: do not like videogames, do not like dry or slap-stick humor, hate slightly sexual scenes, only find bathroom humor funny, and/or people who hate anything even slightly romantic.
This movie IS for: anyone who has ever played videogames and liked them, anyone who likes funny/silly movies, anyone who likes fight scenes, and anyone who enjoys a little romance in their movies.
The movie is filled with video game references. If you are a video game nerd (like me), you will love it. Zelda music is used quite a bit, as well as many other well-known music in the gaming world like Mario and Final Fantasy. A lot of video game themes are also used, for instance there is a part in the movie where one of the characters says to Scott, "Where are you going?" and Scott, after looking up to see a 2D cartoon-version of his face revolving in the air next to him, snatches it (the cartoon face disappears to be replaced by word "1-UP") and responds, "To get a life." Things like this are all throughout the movie and you will find yourself thoroughly enjoying their incorporation. This movie is also full of fight scenes, which are done in a very Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat fashion.
Everything about this movie was done extremely well. I can find no fault with it. It is just a wonderful movie. If you haven't seen it and you fit under the "This movie IS for" description above, go see it. You will not be disappointed.
