The Wizard
In this comedy, Corey Woods (Fred Savage) sneaks his emotionally disturbed little brother, Jimmy (Luke Edwards) out of the home he has been placed in, and sets off on a trip across the country. Along the way they team up with young Haley (Jenny Lewis), and together they discover that the silent Jimmy has a gift for playing video games. With this newfound information, the trio sets off for a video game competition in California, pursued by a number of concerned relatives.

The Wizard is about as shameless as commercial films get but it is entertaining. Having the top male TV heart throb at the time in a movie that pretty much advertises every Nintendo game ever made at the time is sure to make a nice amount of bank. Throwing in Christian Slater wasn't a bad touch either. The surprise cameo appearance by the never-before-seen "Super Mario Bros. 3" was impressive in its own right.Great Movie!!! - polkaroo79
I forgot how much I loved this movie! Even though it was a giant nintendo commercial, it was still awesome. It is movies like this one that reminds me why I loved the 80's movies. I definately recommend this movie to anyone who enjoyed the 80's..and even if you are not a huge 80's movie buff, but grew up in the late 80's early 90's, I think you would enjoy this film.a good movie for the family - BERT
