Viewing Notes

Been wanting to view this since it was mentioned on the “road movie” episode I did with Top5Film podcast. Finally got it from my library and it’s as described, a commercial for Nintendo. But it’s also a heartfelt story of kids on adventure to compete in the video game championship. Had this movie come out when I was a kid it’d probably be one of my favorite movies ever.
