The last few years have seen terrific documentaries about unlikely subjects -- spelling bees (Spellbound), a religious summer camp (Jesus Camp) -- and The King of Kong follows suit.
It's the story of a middle-school science teacher and a hot sauce mogul competing for the Donkey Kong Guinness World Record. Not only unlikely, but unpromising, right? Rolling Stone: "Roaringly funny. " Entertainment Weekly: "A funny and madly arresting new documentary." Mario rocks!
