Brick Madness

Wacky and unpredictable, this film had me smiling the entire time! So many characters with vastly different personalities, it was a real character study for the audience. Writers to be applauded for clever nuances. Director pulled off a complicated timeline to build a smooth and even delivery.

I saw this film at a festival and was pleasantly surprised on all counts. You never know what to expect going in blind to a movie like this, but I found it to be not only hilarious, but have a lot of heart as well. Brick Madness is about a national "Brix" tournament and all the people who take it so seriously even though it's just about building LEGO.

The movie is an indie with a small budget, but I think it felt just like any other movie - in a good way - it didn't feel cheap or low budget, it just felt REAL. Okay, the characters are a little over the top at points, but I think that's part of the charm. It really was a fun movie. If you get a chance to check it out at a festival or whenever it gets released, I highly recommend it.

If you are more into nerd sports (chess, robotics, etc) than athletics, then this movie is for you. The mocumentary looks at the competitive world of nerd sports, namely lego type building competition. The competition is fierce. And the nerd always comes out on top (well because they are all nerds).

Absolutely loved this film! The true sign of a good mockumentary is one that lovingly makes fun of its subject without betraying the fact that the filmmakers are also fans and lovers of the subject. Brick Madness lovingly skewers the world of brick building, but is never cruel or mean-spirited. Fun for everyone with great performances from some really funny folks. Waiting for Brick Madness 2: Electric Brickaloo.

I wasn't too sure until after the first 3 minutes. It grabbed my attention and kept it there until the end with laughter along the way. I felt myself rooting for the underdog while hoping for the penalty flag. This film made feel like I was there. You will never look at a small plastic brick in the same way again. You will enjoy this film.
