Review of Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) by Anthony S — 04 May 2004
(VHS)(First Viewing, 2 Zaillian films seen).
[i]A prepubescent chess prodigy refuses to harden himself in order to become a champion like the famous but unlikable Bobby Fischer.[/i].
Ben Kingsley looks a lot like an old Ralph Fiennes in this one. At least I think so. I had always known about this movie but never chose to view it throughout my many years of working at the local video store. I was roaming around Blockbuster, desperately looking for my favorites freebie along with [i]Bamboozled [/i]and picked it up. My girlfriend is so annoyed with every film having nudity in it these days, so the PG-rating lightened things up a bit. It is a great family movie, but the kind you can even watch by yourself to enjoy.
