Ashens and the Quest for the Gamechild

Thin homage to Raiders by a YouTube celeb. Serves as an interesting commentary on internet YouTube review culture: the chubby white protagonists are cool loners! women are crazy! lol wacky side characters! Never really gels into anything and the whole enterprise is quite dumb, but I did chuckle more times than I should admit to. The British affectations help.

It's a weird sorta film for what it is. Being a fan of Ashens' work, the jokes are very relevant. However, I can see how it may not click well with someone who is not a fan of his stuff.

So after watching AVGN: The Movie I was a bit worried about watching another full length movie made by Youtube personality. I was wrong. This movie is very fun and watchable. It might be not the one of the best comedies "ever", but I still enjoyed it.

A charming and funny ode to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Very low budget but likeable writing carries it through.

After the impressive opening titles it doesn't quite keep the quality up. Some fun moments though and an admirable go for the budget.
