Word Wars

Directed by: Eric Chaikin, Julian Petrillo











In the world of competitive Scrabble, who is the ultimate champion? This film, through its motley cast of players, tries to answer that question.

The best I can say is that this documentary is "ok." It's not a great film by any standard, but it is definitely entertaining. The relatively low production value hinders it at points, but the players featured (such as G.I. Joel - G.I. for Gastro Intestinal) help make up for it.

I wouldn't put this at the top of any list, but I can say that it's a good view for a lazy afternoon.
