SL160 A surprisingly entertaining documentary considering the subject matter. Later investigation reveals that maybe the producers fudged the truth a bit, but it’s hard to argue when their version of the story is so much more fun to watch. It’s less about video games and high scores than it is about being an outsider who is trying to break into a long-established social clique.

3 and a half stars (out of 5)
