My quick rating - 6,2/10. The last movie was the wrong one LOL, fixed it. This was a good family flick for the holidays about a dad (Neil Patrick Harris) who is feeling out of touch with his daughter and tells her the fantastic story of his 1980 quest to get his own Nintendo. Very much a retro take on A Christmas Story that doesn't have quite the impact nor with but still is entertaining enough. The kids that make up the majority of the movie are very well done and have their individual personalities that keep it amusing. The story itself is definitely rooted in my exact generation since I remember not having the Nintendo yet and still playing my Atari so I am sure there is a little bias and nostalgia in my rating. I also didn't go through the adventures through the city of Chicago (more nostalgia anyone?) but I am sure the scenes in the malls and the huge stations at the store where you could actually play the machine will be familiar as well. I had fun with it and did get a kick out of the whole thing. Very family-oriented and worth watching. Check it out for your next Christmas if you missed it this year!!
