Trivia
During a role-playing game, Debbie says that she will "cast Magic Missile to attack the darkness." This is a reference to the "Dungeons and Dragons" sketch by comedy group The Dead Alewives, in which an inept player is desperate to cast Magic Missile in a dark cavern even though there is no enemy around to fight; in response, and to the amusement of all other players, he proclaims, "I attack the darkness!" It's notable that this sketch is a parody of the same religious backlash against role-playing games that the Jack Chick tract "Dark Dungeons" was based in.

If you didn't know this was a parody, your review was worthless.

If you know the source material for this movie you probably found this movie to be hysterical and over the top, and that was intended. If you didn't know the source material this movie probably just seemed weird, this movie is definitely one of those things that's made for a specific group of people. And everyone that I know that plays role playing games and has read the short little comic/religious tract that this is based on has love this movie. I am no exception, I don't want to talk about anything coming up in the movie but most of what's in it is in the source material it was updated a little bit for a more modern time, adding LARP to the mix, but the addition doesn't detract from the story.

Definitely worth watching once, but I recommend you read the comic first.
