Has anyone seen this movie?  It is supposed to be about the current Donkey Kong High score holder and a young contender.  The reviews look promising.  I tried search the forums for anyone that has seen it, but found nothing.  Anyway, might be worth a look:

What I find astonishing is that you have been a member here for 5 years, and you post this like you've never heard of it before. How have you never heard of this movie?!?!?!?! :dizzy:

I have to assume one of two things:

1. You posted this as a  ;) ;) joke
2. You have been in a coma for 2 years and just woke up today.

Sprucemoose:
LOL.  After reading your post I wish I really did know about this movie, but I have never heard of it.  I even did a search to prevent such backlash :dunno

I think G4 is showing it on TV now.

Anyways, it is a very entertaining movie - even my wife enjoyed it. Apparently the producers took some creative liberty with the facts, but it is still a good watch.

They also have the green light for a fictionalized version with Vince Vaughn and his comedy crew as the cast.

Sprucemoose:
Thanks, Shardian

G4 is in fact showing the movie on 6/13 @7pm est for anyone else that had their head in the sand for the past couple years.
