      Dante: Whoa, I don't know, man. I got a business to run. This is like my office as well as my home. Plus, the lion comes in a couple days.

      Alex: You're getting a lion?

      Dante: Yeah.

      Alex: Why?

      Dante: To protect my shit.

      Alex: Never heard of a dog?

      Dante: Dude, you can get past a dog. Nobody fucks with a lion.

    Very underrated comedy

    Watching this movie, was like watching some good Adam Sandler comedy. But beats out all the new stuff he is in now a days with some really funny jokes that are over the top, although it might seem like a Adam Sandler style of humor, this movie takes the cake when it comes to being over the top with jokes. There are already a lot of stoner comedies out there and although this movie does have a bit of that stoner comedy, most of the jokes revolves around comedy for gamers. Gamers will get a lot of laughs out of this movie, even non gamers will probably find themselves chuckling during certain scenes of the movie. Although there are a lot of random stuff thrown in this movie, I could not help but find just about every scene in this movie hysterical, in a good way. Most of the characters just want to have a good time with Alex who is the protagonist of the movie while he stays at his grandma's house, after getting kicked out after his roommate spent all the rent money on Filipino hookers, but also has to deal with some Matrix obsessed game designer who hates Alex with a passion, and tries to ruin his career and steal the girl he fell for. Although it may seem a bit cliché, the way the characters go about it adds a lot of entertainment value, although some may find comedies like this one vulgar those that do enjoy it will have a fun time watching it, although it's not groundbreaking.
