I LOVE THIS movie. Cause I love Nintendo and I thought
Fred Savage was cool guy cause I loved watching Wonder
Years. It is one of the best memories I have of the 80's.
It's funny and makes me feel like a child everytime I watch
it. It also introduced me to Universal Studios for the
first time which I would go to a few years later.

I love the acting by the kids, and the plot is so cheesy
its good. That wimpy child-finder guy makes me bust a gut
everytime I see him.

Beau Bridges is a cool actor and I've respected him a lot
ever since I saw him in this movie, and he eventually gets
better.

Christian Slater was alright in this movie but I think
action movies are what he's suited at.

The red-head girl I forget her name I've seen her in alot
of other 80's teen, pre-teen movies. She's cute but way
too hyper at times.

'Jimmy Woods' doesn't say much but he's cool and stuff.

I love the movie cause it introduced a new Nintendo
game "Super Mario Bros 3" a big big favorite game of mine
to this very day. I was in awe when I saw that game up on
that big screen.

I'd give this movie 5 out of 5 cause there are so few
videogame movies out there, out of the little handful this
one is the best In my opinion.

I would buy the movie but I can't seem to find it
anywhere. If it's on DVD, I will be sure to pick it up!

This is one of the best occultic classics of the 1980's.

The good:Performances,story,acting,humor,New Life
music,characters,character developement,vile villians

The bad:New kids on the block music.

Basically its perfect for all those who remember the
original 80's NES.

For some reason,I really really love this film,the acting
is very good,and the kids don't annoy,unlike many other
films of this type.The adults,particularly Beau Bridges,are
also superb.
Sure,the film features some (very) blatant
commercialism,but this simply brings up great feelings of
nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the NESs heyday,and
remember all the hype around Super Mario Brothers 3.
Suprisingly,the film actually has a charming plot,all in
all I'd recommend this film to
everyone from their mid-teens to their early twenties,who
grew up loving the NES,and
stuff like this.
