    I had to see this movie twice and would see it again. I would rather watch real people struggling with their lives that all the Hollywood fulff in the world. I have never been good at games - maybe this is one reason why I find these expert-level characters interesting. I also have a high tolerence - nay, even a liking for nerds. I loved Marlon - tell it like it is, man! I got the book it was based on - it makes a great read - I laughed out loud several times. If you like the movie you'll enjoy the book.… Expand

    A thoroughly entertaining and hilarious look at a board game that's an occasional amusement for some -- and a serious obsession (or disturbing addiction) for others.

    There's a pronounced lack of emotional pay-off that likely will derail any attempts to position Word Wars as an aud-friendly crowd-pleaser with breakout potential comparable to "Spellbound."
