I really enjoyed this film. Clint's performance was, as usual, right there. I found myself chuckling throughout especially his comments on "people today." He surrounds himself with some terrific actors to help make a hard-to-believe story believable. Oh yes, it was loosely based on a true story.

My favorite part of this movie was the product placement shot of Dan Akyrod's vodka. Other than that, I can't say anything good about this film. The visual effects were ho-hum. Sandler phoned this one in (and this is a guy who can act as seen in "Punch Drunk Love") and that's being nice. The best performance was by the kid who played the young Adam Sandler. The only way I was able to sit through this film was to phony laugh at all the "jokes." With so many good sci-fi choices in theaters right now, stay away from Pixels. I wanted to like this film as I enjoyed the games featured when I was a kid, but I couldn't. This one should sweep the Razzies.
