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.
Amusing and slightly alarming documentary.
Light, lively, informative, fun.
Word Wars does a better job of capturing the players' various idiosyncrasies.
Lacks the urgency and significance of a great docu but still offers a diverting entertainment.
Only occasionally do the thrill of the game and the passion of its players come together. That said, these guys' nakedly neurotic enthusiasm keeps the movie from being a total jumble.
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."
