If you've ever played pinball enough to really enjoy the game, this is a must-see movie. Watching the history of these machines and their interaction with local big-city politics (fun and politics seem to clash often) is an added bonus. The Rom-Com side is also developed nicely, and the acting is good. The story feels as real as claimed and is never slow paced. Whenever the narrator breaks through to the viewer, it adds a kick of additional humor. This movie reminds me of "The World's Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins playing New Zealand speed bike racer Burt Munro who, against the odds and on a miniscule budget, set speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah during the 50s and 60s.
