The Game Chasers Movie

As a low budget independent film made by 1st time filmmakers its actually pretty good for what it is. The plot is basically a throwback to those cross country adventure films from the 80s, with the best comparison probably being Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

The plot is well paced and the script mostly works. The comedy is hit or miss, but mostly hits with laughs throughout. The cinematography is shot well. The special effects are better then most independent films. The weakest aspect is probably the acting, but in no way is it bad or hinders the movie.

All in all its a good movie. I think most fans of The Game Chasers will really enjoy it. In reality even those that have never heard of them should get some enjoyment from it. If you temper your expectations and know what you are getting into its well worth the ride.

This movie is exactly what it's supposed to be, dumb, charming, nostalgic and funny, what more could you ask for from some of the silliest game loving maniacs on YouTube. Do yourself a favor and watch this flick, then bust out you NES and remember what it was like to have pure joy in your hands.

This movie was not good, pure and simple. I realize these guys are youtubers and not trained actors but the story was horrible. It reminded me of Clerks, if Clerks wasn't funny. I mean, they blatantly stole a joke from Dumb & Dumber in the first 30 min and it only got worse. Even for a low budget crowd funded movie this was just bad 👎

I'm a longtime sub to their YouTube channel so im not just hating to hate, This movie was a terrible idea from start to finish, These guys put together the most hack clichéd script a movie could possibly have to go along with acting that was so wooden and forced it allows no emotional investment on the part of the viewer with how crummy the scenes are, I enjoy the idea of game hunting but not like this, Should of been about having to find the 10 rarest nes games and each one has a boss who owns it I dunno anything but what they delivered.

The flea market/stores/yard sales is where the movie should have been focused, It's hard to think of anything else left to say about this miserable slog of a film.

I will preface this review with the admission that I am a fan of their YouTube content.

That said I was very impressed with the movie. Well shot, impressive acting from a core of amateurs with pros sprinkled throughout, a gripping plot with that trademark Game Chasers comedy. Whilst doing a good job not to exclude any audience members unfamiliar with their online content. I was thouroughly entertained and it reminded me of how I felt after seeing Haggard by the CKY crew.

It excites me that a low budget indy movie can reach such a high quality of production. It makes film making feel accessible again just like it did in the early 2000s.

If you're coming into this movie blind to their YouTube stuff my advice would be to remember that this is a passion project and not a Corporate Hollywood blockbuster.
