The King of Kong

Review:

Who would have guessed that a documentary about gamers obsessed
with scoring a world record at Donkey Kong would not only be
roaringly funny but serve as a metaphor for the decline of Western
civilization? Using Billy Mitchell?s need to stay champ and Steve
Wiebe?s need to beat him, director Seth Gordon deftly manages to
show how age, marriage, fatherhood and so-called ethical thinking
will not stop man?s need to go to war, no matter how stupid the
reason.
