First off, I give this a 7/10 based on a really old memory. Honestly, I'd like to give it more but it's been so long since I've seen it that my memory is likely flawed. So, the seven is based on the fact that it was good enough for me to remember all this time.
The story is awesome, and the fact that it's true is even better. It begins with a guy who's furious that he had to buy a new game of scrabble just because he lost a piece. "I hate that whenever you lose one little thing you have to buy a whole new game," (very very paraphrased). It follows the friends as they struggle through near poverty (living off recycled beer bottles and practically giving up on their regular jobs) so they can follow through with their idea of a game of somewhat greater purity. They set a goal of creating 5000 questions and seek out investors to help make the game a reality. Unfortunately people are more interested in buying the game then buying stock. It's great to watch who they hustled the system to break into a business that was clearly closed off to outsiders. They went from nothing to being millionaires. Or, as the leader of the pack said to a stunned group of party goers "we're not millionaires;" he pauses. "We are MULTI millionaires." If you can find it, watch it. It's lite and enjoyable. Let me know where you got your copy. I'd like to watch it again.
