Film Review - Noobz
February 07, 2013
While teeming with questionable attitudes and taste issues, gaming culture deserves a more respectful representation than what “Noobz” has to offer. Built out of moldy stereotypes and crummy improvisations, the comedy is painful to watch, with numerous opportunities for laughs and satire flushed down the toilet so co-writer/director/star Blake Freeman can parade around the most insipid material imaginable. The picture has the premise and the atmosphere to at least inch toward a significant razzing of video game particulars, yet Freeman seems almost afraid to really dig into the personalities that clutch the controllers. Instead of lighthearted adventuring, “Noobz” makes “The Wizard” look like “The Matrix,” slogging through stupidity for what feels like an eternity at times. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
