    A boy gets trapped inside a board game for 26 years. When he is released, they have to complete the board game to end the curse. Robin is really into his character. Scarey monkeys!

    "Roll the dice and unleash the excitement!"

    When two kids play an old magic board-game they found, they release a man trapped for decades in it and a host of dangers that can only be stopped by finishing the game.

    REVIEW
    Despite being rejected by many a fil...( read more)m critic for being childish and lacking in the classic sweepstakes, I found this film more than enough to satisfy my evening desires. With its strong plot and good actors, this film has much going for it, despite slightly lame CGI, its the story that carries you on. I have heard few people praise this film but I believe it to be a classic due to having an eerie dark sense all the way through until the credits roll, whilst still maintaining comedy and being for the whole family. It is bound to keep the viewer thinking of the awful situation these people face long after viewing has finished. Overall, one of the high points of Williams' career, and Kirsten Dunst has never been better.
