*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
There is only one thing less suited to base a movie upon than a video game: Real Live. This might put me in a be bias position, but this movie lost me at the opening credits when it said "based on a true story". What followed where 90 minutes of pure agony. After the first 10 minutes everyone had problems, not one of them could attract my sympathy or even interest in their character and the blunt overacting would have put William Shatter to shame. The plot - boy takes drugs, boys life gets destroyed, boy manages to overcome his addiction and criminal ways by becoming really athletic - was really lame and predictable. It's basically the movies title. The over-acting was terrible. Everything everybody did became so overly dramatic and important (when it really really wasn't) that I actually began to feel ashamed for watching this.
My final recommendation: If you like watching movies that look like they were made for late night TV, about people whose only function it is to have and express problems normal people really can't relate to: Go for it. If you, like me, go to the cinema to be entertained (on whatever level) stay the **** away!
