FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

evening1 I liked this trip into the eccentric, nearly all-male world of champion Scrabble players.Here is a gaggle of sometimes self-described "lazy" people who may be gamesters and gamblers but sometimes also hold down real jobs at places like the Chicago Options Exchange. We learn that Scrabble is less a word game than a mathematical, visual-spatial one, and that the record score in a championship match stands at 770.Here you'll find a list of words beginning with a "q" that can be spelled without a "u", tidbits about the history of a game that garnered rejection slips from early manufacturers, and depictions of foreigners from places like Thailand who compete without necessarily being able to use English conversationally.The game is described as being much more complicated than poker, where a player may choose between three moves; in Scrabble, there can be 500 choices.Since the movie was made in 2003, it makes no reference to on-line playing. In whatever mode they participate, those who showed up to view a screening at the New York Public Library were divided about 50-50 men and women. The film pointed out that many of the top competitors are male. One of the few leading female players speculated that women may be afraid of winning. I challenge that!

Boggman If your a word game addict such as myself, then "Scrabylon" is an interesting view into the competitive world of Scrabble players and tournaments.It mostly consists of interviews with the top rated players in the nation....and their thoughts and strategies on the game.It also gives a nice look into the tournament scene, and provides a little background on the history of the game.Not a whole lot here to make a movie about - but it is a nice look at an interesting subculture Recommended for word freaks only!!
