Review - The KIng Of Kong



There are times you'd swear you're watching the latest Christopher Guest film as many of the characters you come across in The King of Kong seem too Tap to be true.

Amongst the freaks and geeks of the Twin Galaxies universe - 'Gamer of the Century', Restaurateur and Hot Sauce maker Billy Mitchell steals the show with an ego far larger than any of the scores on show and the simple, but perfectly pitched story of underdog Steve Wiebe's battle for recognition as Donkey Kong hi-scorer against the egotistical gaming legend makes for one the best documentaries of recent years.

(In all seriousness, New Line IS planning a fictional comedy remake of some kind - just not the one noted above :))
