This was a window into the world of competitive scrabble players. We follow four top players...geeks all...as they prepare for the national championships in 2001. These guys were so ragged, socially inept and generally pathetic that I found it impossible to get into the thrill and drama (such as it was) of their competition.
This kind of doc worked with the spelling kids but the Donkey Kong guys and these people are so sad I felt I was watching a demolition derby featuring junky, shitty cars. Who really cares which one wins?
