Adventures in Game Chasing

This movie was produced with less money than what Hollywood's big budget studios charge for less than a minute of footage. It's almost (if not) a superhuman effort, and Billy's wearing the main cape. A true heart-driven flick that keeps you entertained all throughout, and leaves you with something to think about. The real gift of this movie is that it concentrates well on its tone, and delivery is carried out with great timing; It could only be done by love and knowledge of the craft. Sure, theres minor areas of slight improvements due to it be a smaller production, but it shines bright within the cosmos of movies.

I have been a fan for the last 10 years, and this movie had me laughing from start to finish, yes its a indie movie, and yes it shines through on more that one occation, but does it really matter? Dave was really funny in this too, great actor. High five boys!

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.

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.
