PIXELS (Theatrical Release USA 2015)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì 

Pixels—highly creative—delivers WOW! entertainment with its well-grounded story and the comedic antics of Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, and Peter Dinklage. The arcade game concept is great and will bring back many good memories for persons who have played at arcade parlors or had versions of Pac Man/Donkey Kong in their home gaming libraries. Don’t miss this movie. It deserves its watch.
