Monster Camp

We watch as adults (mostly) play live-action role playing games and talk about how it is more an important part of their lives than all that reality stuff.

The filmakers appeared to be trying to capture these folks earnestly, but it amounts to the same -- they could have been trying to point their fingers and laugh.

I wished it was less of a freakshow and more of a comedy, but I guess in the end, people dressed up as butterfly warriors and cat-elfs banging each other with padded sticks and yelling out hit point losses is just not all that entertaining afterall.

Clunky as a documentary but it does have some very funny moments and it wasn't as bad as I am making it sound.
