Game Changers (2018 TV Movie) User Reviews

I was surprised

[pguzik-73666 · 7/10 · 24 November 2017]

This film was better than I expected! Sure, it was a little bit boring, but it told a lot about game shows and interviewed some well-known people, such as Howie Mandell, Vannah White, Pat Sajak, and Alex Trebek. A good film to record and watch. One criticism I have is they do not go that deep into the game shows, and I wish they would show some game show fails

Not sure why the rating is so low. This was pretty darn good.

The film covered a wide range of shows, a few of which I had never even heard of. However, being a kid of the 70s, some of the footage from that time was great to see.

Could they, perhaps, have gone more in depth? I guess, but then the film would've been three hours long. I think they used the time wisely, as I was never bored.

Great job!

Good stuff!

Solid little documentary giving insight into the history of game shows in America. If you're something of a game show buff or just a casual fan, fret not, there's something here for everyone. Very insightful!

Very Entertaining

I've always enjoyed behind-the-scenes exposes such as this, and having grown up watching most of these game shows, I found it quite entertaining. How the shows got their beginnings, back stories on hosts and celebrities and seeing them as they are today are all covered. I would have happily watch more had it been available.

Good times!

Really entertaining and interesting. I was surprised though that given the focus on jeopardy, there was no mention of the original show before trebek and the doors that would drop down with the answers.

Sycophantic and boring.

While I did learn a few things from this movie, most of the time was spent on people saying how great everyone else is or was. Trebek couldn't be more boring in his quest to kiss butt. At one point he even talks to Vanna White about quilting. The only people who were remotely interesting were Drew Carey and Regis Philbin. Which is amazing because they were never interesting before. To top it off, there is absolutely no mention of Press Your Luck. Unless game shows are your entire life, you probably won't enjoy this.
