A solid and entertaining road film that is never cloying or abundantly sweet. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Granted, Nintendo has cornered the video game market, and all the kids in the audience seemed to know each game as it appeared on the screen, but why pander to that Saturday morning commercial television sensibility? Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Video-addicted kids may well find this exciting, but for anyone old enough to stay out later than 9 P.M. it's a distinct bore.

Description by OLDIES.com:

Corey (Fred Savage) refuses to let his emotionally disturbed younger brother Jimmy (Luke Edwards) be institutionalized and the two run away together. They soon join forces with a resourceful girl (Jenny Lewis) who notices that Jimmy has a special talent: he is a wizard at video games and gets the high score on absolutely everything he plays. Evading their parents and a sinister bounty hunter, the trio head for a climactic showdown at the video game championships in California.
