The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

... View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreThis is a special film. Not everybody will get it but those who do get it will find that it warms their hearts and tickles their funny bone.Anybody who ever rolled a d20 or has gone to a LARP (Live Action Role Play} will instantly become infatuated with the characters. A film for anybody who has painted miniatures; a film for anybody who loves orcs and pancakes.The leading lady steals the show with a energy charged performance and the rich ensemble cast will keep you in stitches.This is a talented group of filmmakers and I look forward to their future ventures.Worth watching...twice.
... View MoreI had to travel about four hours to see this movie, but it was worth it. I happen to be a gamer, but you don't have to be one to enjoy this movie. It plays up all the gamer stereotypes, but the humor is universal. They don't get into game mechanics or terminology much, so anyone can understand it. The characters are so funny. The way they react to certain situations is priceless. I was laughing so hard, and I was not the only one. Everyone in our entire theater was laughing. The humor was goofy, but I don't think it was too over-the-top. I was an instant fan. I highly recommend seeing it if you are even remotely close to a theater that is playing it.
... View MoreAre you living in a world filed with the same old recycled politically correct Hollywood garbage? Do you love great movies but just cant find anything you haven't seen before? Want to see a movie that will be one of the best movies you have seen in years. Not some remake about monkeys or the same old crap told over and over? Then you should go see Unicorn City! I seen this film by my self the first time. Later that same day i took 2 of my friends back to see it. I have since taken 9 more friends back to see this film on different occasions. One trip was a 5 hour drive with 6 guys in a Nissan Stanza. It was worth every minute of that drive. Trust me your going to love it!
... View MoreThis movie was a hit with everyone I know that's seen it. It's a perfect movie for families - not too risqué and has jokes that kids and adults can both appreciate. It's friendly, well-written, honestly laugh-out-loud funny, and you don't even have to know what LARPing is to enjoy the entire movie. The first scene perfectly outlines the characters and sets the stage for the rest of the movie. From the very beginning you know who to be routing for. The acting was top notch considering the actors have little feature film experience (with the exception of Jon Gries). Definitely a movie I would recommend for all ages.
