Rise of the Fellowship (2013)
Heartwarming, put-a-smile-on-your-face film
This movie made me smile, even laugh. Sure there were some stereotypes and some clichéd moments, but they didn't detract from the feel of the film. There are some movies that just give you a happy feeling while you watch them and leave you wanting to go out and kick life's butt, like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty or Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. This, for me, is one of those movies. Is some of the acting a bit over the top? Sure. But I've seen much cornier, stereotyped performances (the bad guys in Mall Cop for instance) and honestly Rise of The Fellows Hip had me caring about the characters from the beginning, unlike a lot of other "great" films.
For reference, I'm eighteen and not a gamer in any sense of the word and I still enjoyed this movie. Family friendly though it may be, it's appeal has a much wider scope and I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates a good, clean, heartwarming story.
