A humorous and heartfelt look back at the adventures of childhood. Set in suburban Chicago in the late 1980s, the story centers on ten-year-old Jake Doyle’s quest to get the latest and greatest video game system for Christmas.
Q-tips say: Yes, we enjoyed it.
8-Bit Christmas is a new family comedy that works well for the young crowd and will resonate strongly with those of us raised in the ’80s. Every single part of the film was working its way towards that ending, and it feels like it was made with a lot of love.
Adults who were kids from the era might get a warm/fuzzy, but kids today will likely download the whole NES system on their phones and play while half watching. Game over?
