Leave your thoughts about Word Wars.
| San Francisco ChronicleJohn McMurtrieA thoroughly entertaining and hilarious look at a board game that's an occasional amusement for some -- and a serious obsession (or disturbing addiction) for others. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThe film fairly skips along as it introduces us to this strange world. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonThere's a pronounced lack of emotional pay-off that likely will derail any attempts to position Word Wars as an aud-friendly crowd-pleaser with breakout potential comparable to "Spellbound." |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerThough it's hardly as uplifting or inspiring, it's hard not to appreciate these driven men who know they've found their calling when they start to anagram in their dreams. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthThe human element is kept endearingly rich a la detailed background info and flaring tempers that are the hallmark of the low-budget tournament circuit. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard Roeper... it's not quite as endearing as Spellbound, because we are looking at thirty-five year olds instead of twelve-year-olds, but it's still very interesting. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardAmusing and slightly alarming documentary. |
| Village VoiceDennis LimEven the fast-motion effects and flashy graphics can't make this a spectator sport. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsAn entertaining but somewhat creepy look at the world of competitive Scrabble. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoCool graphics and music, combined with jittery camera work, keep the film's energy level high. Who knew Scrabble could be so exciting? |
