Title: Donkey Kong - No Laughing Matter
Review: I hadn't thought of the game Donkey Kong in years when I came across the documentary The King of Kong. Through the documentary I learned that - for some- Donkey Kong never went away. The documentary focuses on the lengths to which people will go to gain a bit of notoriety and it also allows the viewer to meet some interesting characters.The tension in the film comes when an upstart gamer from Washington state - Steve Wiebe - challenges the long-held record of the legendary Billy Mitchell. The film portrays Wiebe as a likable everyman and Mitchell as an evil schemer. The attempt at the record is all that happens in the film, but it's still quite interesting; the viewer comes away wondering why people become so absorbed in their hobbies and whether such hobbies can ever be healthy.The King of Kong is an interesting, unique documentary.
