8-Bit Christmas Available October 18

 


A humorous and heartfelt look back at the adventures of childhood starring Neil Patrick Harris (A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Matrix Resurrections, The Smurfs films) . Set in suburban Chicago in the late 1980s, the story centers on ten‐year‐old Jake Doyle’s herculean quest to get the latest and greatest video game system for Christmas.

This movie brought back memories of my son at Christmas time.  He loved video games and there always seemed to be new ones coming out at the holidays everyone wanted to get their hands on.  I had lots of good laughs in this movie as Jake and his friends went on an ultimate game plan adventure to get their hands on a Nintendo.
