Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Fredomoftruth My husband was out of town so I had to take my 2, 4, 8, and 10yr old with me to see this show. I was afraid that this show would be too "adult" for it to be any good to my kids but I was pleasantly surprised that my 8 & 10yr old laughing so hard to the point of tears. Of course my 2 younger ones were bored.As for me... I thought the show was hilarious. I'm not big into role play games but even I could appreciate the plot. Definitely will be getting the DVD when it comes out and making my friends and family watch this great and funny show. I recommend this show to everyone who loved shows like Hot Rod and Napolean Dynamite.
jaronmc I am a gamer and so I expected to be disappointed by Unicorn City. Pleasantly, and unlike so many other films, Unicorn City is able to be humorous without becoming mocking or condescending. This alone puts it ahead of the majority of similar films. The story does start slowly with the character introductions but the humor comes before you start getting bored. Additionally Unicorn City doesn't use up all its humor at the beginning. Some of the greatest moments of the film come later on when the characters have all been introduced and the audience feels it has become part of some inside joke. The only flaw (and thus a 9 rather than 10 out of 10) is that the main character is rather unlikable throughout the vast majority of the film. This isn't a major problem though because the bad guy is more unlikable yet. Over all this is a great film with excellent writing and humor reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite. I highly recommend seeing it.
noxzimbyp I was hesitant about seeing this movie the first time. The information given in my Chicago Comic Con events list sounded slightly ridiculous. I've since seen UC three times, and I feel that's not enough to fully appreciate this movie. The characters are great, the acting even better and the storyline was simple and sweet. I'm not a LARPer, nor am I a gamer really, but I was still able to follow and even relate to this movie with ease. I look forward to the day I'll be able to see this movie again. It's a movie that put a smile on my face within the first ten minutes, and left a smile on my face long after it ended. I adored this movie beyond belief. And Voss.
futballfreak07 By far one of the best comedies I have seen in the theaters in a very long time! The friendly nature of the movie makes it appealing to all ages. And the clean humor ensures you that it will be a safe movie for just about anyone. The characters, though portrayed by Hollywood-unknowns, add in the perfect mix of seriousness and fun into their acting. Everyone of them will definitely be known after this film! You may think that a movie about live action role playing gamers would be boring, or dull...Oh how wrong you would be! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good laugh in the movie theater!
