WRECK-IT RALPH

If you have ever played any old arcade game, such as Pac-Man, Street Fighter, Mario-Kart, etc., then Wreck-It Ralph will resonate with such familiarity as to bring back fond memories of when video games used to be incredible!  Back when 2-D, pixelated graphics might as well have been "so real that you couldn't even tell the difference!"  Wreck-It Ralph is the touching story of a bad guy video game character (Ralph, voiced perfectly by John C. Reilly) who is tired of being just that: the bad guy.  He realizes that the gaming community--which is made up of every single game in the arcade--only recognizes the good guys, or the heroes who have won medals.  Ralph decides to abandon his game, titled Fix-It Felix, and "game jump" over to Heroes Duty; where he can prove to everyone that he can be a good guy.

The movie casted some wonderful people to do the voices of the characters, such as Sarah Silverman (Vanellope), Jack McBrayer (Felix), Jane Lynch (Calhoun), and Alan Tudyk (King Candy).  The voices are perfectly matched with the characters and the movie is incredible.  It contains the perfect mix of child and adult humor which makes it a great movie for everyone.

Wreck-It Ralph is hilarious, heartfelt, and just plain fun!  It's a great movie for every age and will definitely bring back memories for those who grew up playing any old arcade game.  In the words of John C. Reilly himself, "It surprisingly has a lot of heart.
