Summary: Fun movie
Comment: Jenny Lewis is one of my favorite singers, so I really enjoy watching movies with her. It's a very popular 80s movie and it is fun. The funniest is when the video game people give the kids at the end an exclusive video game play and its Mario (I forget which version). Really makes you feel old when you remember having played that growing up...

Summary: I love the Power Glove, its so bad.
Comment: Great quote from Lucas Barton in this great 80's video game flick. I enjoyed this movie more than one might imagine when I was there opening day with my best friend, both barely 10. It still holds that nostalgic value today, especially for those with working NES' (where were the cans of air back then?) and who have a desire to relive the glory days of video games (ok maybe not the Power Glove...that thing kinda stinks).
I recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen it and wants to see probably one of the better games based around the fad (at the time it was just thought to be a fad) of video games and their world back in the late 80's.

Summary: Retro Gaming Goodness... In a Movie!
Comment: 'I love the power glove... it's so bad'. Classic line from this 90 minute Nintendo advert, I mean movie, from the early 90's. Chock full of star actors - Fred Savage, Christian Slater and Beau Bridges, this is a good family movie, but especially so if you are into retro gaming. See the NES played everywhere, video games galore, and the first look at Super Mario III. This was a box office flop, despite the star actors, but now it deserves to be placed in the retro computer and gaming hall of fame along side such other classics as Wargames and Tron.

Summary: One of the best kid's 80s movies
Comment: Anyone who has seen this movie loves it. Definately aimed for the 10-14 year olds, but I still in my early 20's love watching this movie and remember when I first saw it. I highly recommend it.
