Story: cheesy. Acting: atrocious. Special effects: non-existent.
Yet, somehow it drew me in past the first few crucial minutes. I found myself actually enjoying it and caring about some of the characters. And wanting to play the CCG game. Some of the side-stories are a little odd (e.g. Gary) but kinda-sorta worked ..
And wanting to go to GenCon ... The depiction of GenCon was particularly funny (although I have never been to one, i would imagine that the stereotypes were portrayed).
All-in-all, if you are looking for a bit of brainless entertainment, this is a good choice. Very light and funny at times.
