8 Bit Christmas




 I love Goon so i became a Michael Dowse fan, most of his post Goon films have been spotty though. I love 80s nostalgia but alot of them feel forced. Video game centric movies are a mixed bag. This here is a mixed bag of a movie that truly feels forced and adds to the spottiness of Dowse. The acting is not bad neither is the plot but it feels like a 90s kids movie but without insulting the intelligence by making it over kiddie, no instead here they insult us with cheap jokes and unrealistic situations. I wish it had been a bit more grounded and featured a bit more realistic 80sness. It has heart so that carries the film but it needed a soul.
