Take a wild guess at what was just recently released on DVD. Here’s a few hints:

It stars Fred Savage, Beau Bridges, Christian Slater and Super Mario. The plot is a kid-friendly take on “Rain Man”. The climactic showdown takes place in Universal Studios, California.

If you guessed “The Wizard” then that means you aren’t blind and you can see the box cover a few centimeters above this.

Anyhow, this cult classic was just recently released on DVD and, of course, I was the only person who actually bought the thing while everybody else was there to pick up more deserving classics like…uh…Brother Bear 2.

You can read my full review of the Wizard, Right Here!

The Wizard, made in 1989, was a movie that tried to realize every kid of the era’s wet dream: traveling the open road, free from your parents, doing nothing but playing video games and earning cash. This movie is remembered best for its numerous video game references and blatant product placement and commercialism, but in all honesty, video games only factor into a portion of the actual plot.
