I haven't seen the movie (And I don't plan to any time soon) but from all the clips I've seen and my previous experiences with Happy Madison I think I've got a pretty good idea of what to expect. And the picture I've painted in my mind is more or less identical to the picture he painted. I doubt that's a coincidence. |

True. It may also attract the crowd that must see something, due to the bad reviews it gets. I'll just steer clear. And, I really wanted to see a giant Pac Man...oh well... |

>taking Rotten Tomatoes more seriously than cat food Don't, make your own opinion and don't encourage sheeple behavior. I will watch it regardless of what normies think. |

You're really stickin' it to the man by handing multimillionaire Adam Sandler, that bastion of rebellion and counterculture, your $12 for his latest movie everyone hates. |

Considering it iS a Happy Madison Production that Adam bought out from some other producer when it needed to be picked up--so he could play the "Aging gamer manchild who just wants to be a family man with hot girl and kid"--it must warm Iwatani's heart to see Akayama play him as the Wacky, Usually Asian, Racist-Gag Foreigner Geek who shows up in every Sandler film. 
So what product plugs do we get in THIS one, besides the obvious Namco games and Mini cars? Usually Sandler works them into the plot and blasts them right in the trailer, like with Bed Bath & Beyond in "Click" or Dick's Sporting Goods in "Blended". But, on the upside, at least he's not on vacation this time. |

Same reason I paid money to see Age of Extinction on opening day. |

Yeeeeah.... I don't like Adam Sandler either, but really, Movie Bob is not someone who I'd ever use to voice any opinion. |

What happened to Wreck-It Ralph? Pac-Man was in it.
Well, the special guests not only see it for free, they're given special accomodations to make suit their every needs. There's nothing to refund.
It seems to be aimed at 80's fans, or at least early 80's fans. I figured Regular Show was already fulfilling that niche, and they'll get their fix once the film adaptation of Ready Player One gets released. Nevertheless, Pixels has beaten Ready Player One to the cinemas, so they can nab them first. This is, of course, assuming these 80's fans are going to go watch Pixels in droves. Universal tried appealing to retro gamers with Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and it fell flat. |

Well, I think I'll be watching Wreck-It Ralph soon. Have yet to see it. Pac-Man!

Leaving aside the videogame-cameo issue (and the Street Fighter characters get more screen time than Sonic or Pac-Man combined), anyone who praises Disney's Frozen without having seen Wreck-It Ralph deserves to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
