Corey Woods (Fred Savage) breaks his emotionally troubled brother, Jimmy (Luke Edwards), out of an institution and they head for California. On the way, Corey realizes that Jimmy's a world-class video gamer, and a girl (Jenny Lewis) they meet on the road leads them to a gaming competition. With their family and a bounty hunter in pursuit, the boys set their sights on the big tournament, where they hope to haul in the $50,000 prize.

Fond memories. Oh how the rose-colored glasses tease. Look, I remember seeing this movie in the theater back in the day and knew it was bad. Even as a nine-year-old kid I knew it was bad. But seeing it twenty years later...man, I didn't know it was THIS bad. It should be a typical coming-of-age road story with a somewhat touching background and finale; it's not. They really blew this one. It's just god-awful, and even the 80s-tastic triple-threat of Fred Savage, Christian Slater, and a Bridges boy can't save it. Even the Coreys are shaking their heads on this one. I can't in good conscience (even as a Nintendo fan of old) rate this one terribly high.

For videogame fans this is a trip down memory lane. True... it's basically a Nintendo commercial for the then unreleased Super Mario Bros. 3 but with that being said it's still a lot of fun to watch.
