Average customer review:Product Description
Gamers is a comedy about the lives of four slacker friends (and one obsessive interloper) living at home,
- with my parents... it s just temporary... til they die - working in the real world but playing in a fantasy world. Obsessed with a role playing game called Demons, Nymphs
and Dragons these gamers are the subject of this hilarious comedy which chronicles their journey to make it through their horrendous lives while attempting to break the world record for role playing for over 74,558 hours.
The sacrifice, the obsession, the blind dedication...
this is their true story.

With so little to chuckle about on the big screen lately, I highly recommend getting a copy of Gamers. It's somewhat dark and downright cruel, but it's also freekin' hilarious. A solid 4 ½ cans out of 5 --bumscorner.com

Avoid at all cost....even free
Are you an RPGer? Then this movie isn't for you.
Are you a fan of comedy? Then this movie is definitely not for you.
I rented this with low expectations to begin with, but since I was a roleplayer I figured there would be some decent "inside jokes" about gaming and it might be at least enjoyable.
WRONG!
The very little it does have on actual gaming is just juvenile and plain stupid. I've heard it compared to Napoleon Dynamite...not even close. I found absolutely nothing enjoyable in this and would sue the makers for the time back if I could. It really is that awful. I think I softly chuckled at maybe two or three little bits, but those are quickly forgotten under the deluge of lame attempts at humor everywhere else in the film.
Don't waste your money, don't waste your time. Please....
Gamer Hater
This movie is not only not funny, it's also mean. It doesn't parody the genre or the gaming hobby, it just makes fun of it. If you are a gamer, this movie will probably offend you. If you're not a gamer, you won't be offended, but neither will you be amused.
Painful
It's supposed to be about a group of roleplayers setting a new record for hours spent on a single campaign, but it's actually a painful pseudo-documentary about crude, pathetic losers who don't even like each other. It panders to the worst stereotypes about gamers, because roleplaying is an easy target to pick on. There's really very little about actual gaming. The movie mostly focuses on bad attempts at low-level humor.
If the phrase "splattered with horse semen" revolts you, run.
Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
Worst.
Movie.
Ever.
