Reception
Phil Hoad of The Guardian rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and called it a "slight but eager tribute to the home-computing heyday."
Tara McNamara of Common Sense Media rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote while it "isn't good by any means", it "racks up a lot of happiness points if your personal nostalgia aligns with the film's."
Richard Whittaker of The Austin Chronicle rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "So if you've worn out your DVD of Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie (or even know who the Angry Video Game Nerd is), it'll be a distraction but no Triple A release."
