CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Great to see something so sweet, original, and interesting overcome the shortcomings of its budget. The Gamers is a story about geeks imagining a fantasy world where they go on adventures, steal people's pants, and can't remember if they are asleep or not. This is a short and entertaining film that doesn't get bogged down in explaining the mechanics of the game. This means we are in the world of the gamer, and the world of the gamers' imaginations from the start.Technically it doesn't look great, but it's wonderful to see a film that kicks the ass of overblown 3D, expensive, HD disappointments such as Avatar. The content is king here.

ErinRuthieBug As someone who has never really played an RPG, I'd just like to take the time to comment. I used to think of gamers as a pathetic lot who couldn't socialize in a real world and therefore had to find a fantasy land in which to associate with other introverts. Now I know I was right...but the movie was hysterical and I can sympathize a little better. Though short, the plot was catchy and the jokes, even if I missed a few were fairly apparent and quite amusing. With all the appropriate characters of any good story and a wit scarily similar to my own, I can honestly say I was at least giggling throughout the entire film. Just sit back and take it for what it is...a movie about life as a few know it made with $500 and a roll of the dice.

Malkav X. Toaster I am a gamer, and this movie had me cracking up for the entire 48 minutes. It's short, but it gets its point across. From the looks of things, a comedy troupe made this movie. They obviously had a very low budget. The sets looked very fake, but it was okay. It sort of added to the humor.Sometimes, with higher budget movies featuring big stars, the actors seem wrong for the parts. The guys in "Gamers" seemed exactly right for their roles, as if they really ARE gamers in real life. Each actor played two roles: a gamer, and his character. The gamers were funny at times and argumentative at others, just like real live gamers. The characters - a barbarian, an archer, a mage and a thief - were cheesy and overdramatic, just like the characters played by a lot of real live gamers. The film might as well have been a documentary about players of role-playing games. As I watched the silly drama unfold, all I could think was "This is how my gamer friends and I look to outsiders!" The idea made me laugh.I'd bring this movie to a party or friendly gathering. It's not too long for the subject, it's funny, and it's almost true to life.

teflonmike A hilarious, gut-buster! It has all the great inside jokes of role-playing while taking the audience into colorful fantasy world where the heroes fight bandits, ogres and rivers...all for the sake of saving the Princess (and the World) from their arch-nemesis, the Shadow!
