I will be brief. Do you:
-Have a child or grandchild younger than 12?
-know how to play Mario Kart?
-fondly remember Pong?
-know what the initials C.O.D. stand for? And if you said 'Cash on Delivery,' stop reading now.
-recall arguing the virtues of Atari vs. Nintendo?
If you answered yes to two or more of these queries—or just question No. 1—go see this movie.
Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) is a video-game villain and he’s sick of it. After decades of being the bad guy, he decides to take off into the arcade and find a video game where he can be the hero of the story. If you’re thinking that sounds incredibly—oh, what’s the word—um, stupid, you would be right. However, it also is a witty and lighthearted look at the video games that most of us remember fondly. All in all, it’s a sweet animated adventure with heart.
It’s a 7.
