The truly difficult part of this movie was trying to believe Lance Guest was 17 years old. The other things making this movie kinda hard to watch were the FlashDance sweaters, really cheezy visual effects, video game sound effects, and bad acting. Really bad acting.
On the upside, it embodies the realization of dreams by a lad who has the stakes against him. Ok, maybe that wasn't a high point. But the Atari game was cool.
