Let the Game Begin (2010) User Reviews

This movie ain't gonna spoil anyone's game...

Well it is a good low budget effort, but it lacks any real direction. There are some good ideas in there, but the movie is really mediocre. The trailer has you expecting more, but the movie is actually a let down.

As for the Game, it has a bit of the basic theory based on the Mystery and Style school. It has some dramatization of the most famous openers, palm reading, and a few really old gambits. Zan makes a very brief appearance, but he does not contribute much, if at all...

I was eagerly awaiting for this movie to come out, and I got very disappointed. In a way, it also portrays pick up artists like deceivers that are unable to find love. Which is weird, because up till the middle part of the movie, everything seems to move nicely forward and there is some excitement as the hero learns about the game rules. But from that point on the movie just slumbers to a really not interesting story, where the pick up artists are also portrayed just as petty womanizers.

I believe the Game is still safe, 99% of the current dating technology is still hidden from the publics eyes.

the movie that's out isn't the real version...

Just so you guys know...the version you guys are watching released in some countries isn't the real version. It's a special edition with cartoons and text etc to explain the game.

I just watched the real version of the movie in LA in a screening which is 91 minutes long. The real movie is fun to watch. It comes out i think in U.S. and Canada only in June or July.

The version you're watching now goes back and forth between Thomas explaining the story to Stephen Baldwin's character. The new cut, is a straight story. There are at least about 5 new scenes i saw that were totally new, including Matador's scene, which is in the beginning of the movie! It has different music, different songs....its like a totally different movie!

A funny, light and truly captivating movie! Recommended!

The movie offers an excellent mix of funny scenes, as well as some serious moments, that make you think about your own dating ambition. The ending was captivating, showing that "the game" is not the right way to go, if you are seeking true love. Portreying a false image to women you could ensure yourself a quick one nighter, but a depiction of who you really are, attracts your true soulmate.

Simply awesome

I honestly believe it was such a great movie, among the funny scenes in the movie i could relate to the action and maybe learn to apply the funny steps and methods they use over the entire movie. Its pretty funny that they introduced game references and made it such as a tiny little game related to their life and basically it's like a how to tutorial play with your life and your love life. Personally its one of my favorites and i happily suggest you give it a try you got nothing to lose . I like the way Ricky/Rowan acts like a mentor to Tripp learning him the steps to succeed both in his love life and getting richer and by the end of the movie they both are successful and of course Tripp got over his issues and learned how to manage the life.
