This documentary is a compelling and frequently hilarious following of two Competitive Video Game titans, doing their best to not get “chumpatized” as they (almost directly) battle for the World Record high score in the original arcade version of Donkey Kong (the machines themselves dating back to 1981) Had this film been written, as apposed to true events, I would still have considered it a supremely well crafted film. The characters are better than fiction, the events are dramatic beyond anything one might anticipate from a film about classic video games, and it evokes both fits of laughter as well as heartfelt emotion from the audience. An unlikely gem of a film that I recommend very strongly.

The only documentary I've ever seen that I could actually call "enjoyable". Seems far to many documentaries are really preachy or depressing, this one is funny and light-hearted. Definitely worth seeing with a crowd.

A total masterpiece, and I don't use that word lightly.

Really good, I like games, but these guys take it WAY to far. You really start to feel for the ultra-nerd protagonist and his tragic hero type climb to Champion king kongdom.

WOW. Awesome documentary! First good one of the year. And it's really funny! What's so great is that it's not about playing video games but about competition (which is why it relates to so many of us) The joys of winning and losing, etc. Plus, you really care about the characters (which was my biggest problem with Sharkwater) Very inspirational as well. Yay persistence!
