Film Review – Noobz

While teeming with questionable attitudes and taste issues, gaming
culture deserves a more respectful representation than what “Noobz” has
to offer. Built out of moldy stereotypes and crummy improvisations, the
comedy is painful to watch, with numerous opportunities for laughs and
satire flushed down the toilet so co-writer/director/star Blake Freeman
can parade around the most insipid material imaginable. The picture has
the premise and the atmosphere to at least inch toward a significant
razzing of video game particulars, yet Freeman seems almost afraid to
really dig into the personalities that clutch the controllers. Instead
of lighthearted adventuring, “Noobz” makes “The Wizard” look like “The
Matrix,” slogging through stupidity for what feels like an eternity at
times. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
