Review of Wordplay

Wordplay (2006)
9/10
Hilarious look at the behind the scenes of Crossword Puzzles
1 July 2006
I found this movie incredibly hilarious. I went to see it purely because I knew an acquaintance of mine had a cameo in it. (He interned for Will Shortz and was one of the competition judges.)

I ended up being completely surprised at how funny it was. The witty quips from participants and judges were priceless. I've never played a crossword puzzle in my life and I still enjoyed the film. You'll find yourself rooting for certain contestants to win the competition.

The celebrity cameos are done well and are actually a substantial part of the movie.

I've recommended this movie to the entire English department at my college. You won't regret the price of admission!
