Basic breakd0wn 0f Unicorn City: A tablet0p gaming nerd wh0 has tr0uble separating his fantasy w0rld from real life, applies t0 a j0b. The manager at a gaming c0mpany listens t0 him talk ab0ut h0w he runs a guild.. blah blah blah... and ign0res him explaining that 50 0ther pe0ple said the same thing. If he wants t0 get hired, he needs t0 d0 s0mething more 0riginal. He is given 1 week t0 pr0ve himself.Thus- Unic0orn City. He creates a gaming ut0pia city where his guildites and him can live (0n Private Property) in peace. He enlists his friend t0 help him d0cument his "success". But cha0s starts t0 ensue when his gaming nemesis finds his "secret" l0cati0n and tries t0 claim it f0r himself.The m0vie can be s0mewhat sl0w at times, but it has a l0t 0f laughs in it. You d0n't have t0 be a gamer t0 laugh at hum0r and j0kes. A l0t 0f laughs, h0wever, c0me fr0m acti0ns m0re than w0rds. S0, y0u really have t0 be watching the m0vie t0 get the full hum0r of it all. The characters are pretty realistic. A l0t 0f gamers have different pers0nalities, they're n0t 0nly 0ne type like p0rtrayed in s0me media. You d0 have nerds. But, then, you have the "g0th/punk" girl, the "wh0rish" girl, the d0uche bag guy, the f0reign guy, the main character wh0 is kind 0f nerdy but n0rmal, t00. And all the in-between pe0ple. That's what I liked a l0t was that there was variety in characters. The m0vie kind 0f reminds me 0f the sh0w "The Guild". S0, if y0u're a big fan 0f that, y0u'll like this m0vie a l0t.

I had to travel about four hours to see this movie, but it was worth it. I happen to be a gamer, but you don't have to be one to enjoy this movie. It plays up all the gamer stereotypes, but the humor is universal. They don't get into game mechanics or terminology much, so anyone can understand it. The characters are so funny. The way they react to certain situations is priceless. I was laughing so hard, and I was not the only one. Everyone in our entire theater was laughing. The humor was goofy, but I don't think it was too over-the-top. I was an instant fan. I highly recommend seeing it if you are even remotely close to a theater that is playing it.

I am a gamer and so I expected to be disappointed by Unicorn City. Pleasantly, and unlike so many other films, Unicorn City is able to be humorous without becoming mocking or condescending. This alone puts it ahead of the majority of similar films. The story does start slowly with the character introductions but the humor comes before you start getting bored. Additionally Unicorn City doesn't use up all its humor at the beginning. Some of the greatest moments of the film come later on when the characters have all been introduced and the audience feels it has become part of some inside joke. The only flaw (and thus a 9 rather than 10 out of 10) is that the main character is rather unlikable throughout the vast majority of the film. This isn't a major problem though because the bad guy is more unlikable yet. Over all this is a great film with excellent writing and humor reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite. I highly recommend seeing it.

Imagine giving a video camera to a bunch of nerds from the Dungeons and Dragons club and having them film their lives. You would think it would be super lame - but you'd be wrong. So FUNNY, really clever and quirky. Some say it is a mixture of Napoleon Dynamite and Monty Python - it's close, but not quite. Laughed out loud through out the whole movie. This movie was great, it was clean, and plain old funny. I have recommended this to everyone I know. Check it out, you wont regret it. Plus, Uncle Rico is in it! I can't believe this was a local movie, on a small budget - they made art. This film will definitely find it's way into my Blu-Ray collection.
