Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game

Very enjoyable - romantic and funny

Mike Faust is incredibly annoying and kinda ruined the movie

Great movie, makes what seems like a boring story very comedic and entertaining!!

A movie we didn't know we needed to see. Really enjoyed the 3rd person view of the story. But a whole hearted, good ole fashion, family story.

I went in with no expectations and enjoyed this film. Worth watching once.

A fun and lovely film about this man who saved Pinball in the United States. I interned for the company that made this film and I would definitely recommend checking it out!

Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game is a great written biopic that is partially done in the style of a documentary on how Pinball became legalized in the state of New York and was declared a game of skill instead of a game of chance and luck. This movie stars Mike Faist as Roger Sharpe who is the author of the Pinball Book and the guy who made Pinball legal and this movie reminds me how amazing of an actor Faist is as he played Riff in the previous remake of West Side Story and he had such charm in this movie, as well as Crystal Reed who played his love interest, every time I see this actress on screen she just steals the show, but the chemistry the two have in the movie is really there and you can just see how great of performers they really are. This movie does follow the same formula as many other biopics but this one tries something unique which is make it in the style of a documentary with an older version of Sharpe narrating, played by Dennis Boutsikaris and it made the movie more interesting and made it more engaging as my eyes were locked on because I felt like I was actually being told an interesting story and there was some great comedy thrown in as well when it came to the narration and just the enthusiasm and quirkiness of Roger's personality. This movie is actually pretty steady paced for a movie that is 90 minutes long, the movie doesn't rush, it takes it's time to really dive into the important parts of the life of Sharpe while also taking the viewer through the process it took to make Pinball legal. Overall, just like Pinball, this movie isn't a winner, but it is a good amount of fun and it is something I was interested in learning about and this movie definitely taught me what I wanted to know in a creative way that I really enjoyed while also having great performers to make the movie even more great. Pinball gets a B+

Loved the theme and characters, great choice of actors. Child of the 70's loved arcades.

Distracting mustache aside, PINBALL is an engaging historical dramedy that elevates its fact-based tale with skillful storytelling. Narration by present-day "Mr. Sharpe" might seem gimmicky at first, but provides a very clever way for the film to undermine the usual biopic tropes while still scoring big. In fact at every turn the film avoids cliche by taking an understated and wholistic approach, creating something of an indie gem that'll likely leave you itching to take a turn at the pinball table.

Great movie. "Pinball" had a great sense of humor and fantastic story.
