I’m a long time Dungeon Master/Storyteller (working on 26 years now). Hands down this video is mandatory viewing for my fellow DM’s. Like another review stated, if you’re not a person who knows about D&D or have never been a DM, then you’ll be clueless to most of the humor. But if you have DM’d or have a good background with D&D, this movie is going to be a ‘fantastic’ and ‘hilarious’ journey. I completely understand that budget mandates goodies/extras as well as special effects within the movie; however in this case, the whole sense of the movie is more genuine because of the bad effects. Now that there’s a DVD out that has “Family Friendly” viewing options, my step-son will be allowed to play the movie at his gaming school function; I’m so proud of’m :-).

On a more negative note, if you’re a fan like I am, you’ll find out that trying to contact the cast, crew, or even try to utilize the web-posted ‘contact’ altogether are dead-ends. I’ve sent email; with a non-existing mailer daemon, I tried again via email with no response. I called via the phone number listed and left a voice mail – no callback. I even went as far as writing a letter and mailing it to the address listed on the official web site…again…no answer. So…I’m sure they like the fact that they have fans. And I’m sure they like our money…but don’t expect to get any kind of response when attempting to make contact directly (even the posted methods listed on: http://www.the-gamers.com/contact/).

Other than blowing-off their fans – EXCELLENT MOVIE and more importantly – GAME ON!!!!
