It started out with a very Clerks-like vibe and not just because Jason Mewes is in it. Because they're on their way to a Gears of War tourney, it sometimes feels like a very long commercial for the game. It's not a bad movie but it also doesn't stand out much.

If you've played through the video game of the same name, you won't find much new here. I'd recommend it for kids of all ages that haven't played the game.

I've never seen more than a few seconds of the original TV show so I have no connection to it at all. I really enjoyed the movie. It definitely wasn't so much the comedy that the trailers would have you believe. If anything, I don't feel they focused enough on the love story. Barnabas and Victoria don't have enough interaction to make me want to see them together.
