This is a documentary about crossworld puzzle enthusiasts and the annual Crossword Puzzle Tournament held in Stamford, CT every year. I'm a HUGE crossword puzzle fan so I really loved this movie. We both thought it was great.

Loved it. Kind of quirky and really made me smile and featured quite the collection of lovable nerds all around. I loved all the little insights about how people's brains work, and they really made the tournament scenes suspenseful!

We watched this last night and really enjoyed it. But, wow, did I feel a little slow. It takes me at least two minutes to sit down and settle into a puzzle, let alone solve it! Jon Stewart cracks me up, even solving the NYT puzzle.Comment

Loved it! I hate crossword puzzles (they give me a headache), but loved the people in the movie. I guess I'm just a nerd-hag (insert picture of dh).
It was very sweet. I loved the famous people they interviewed, too. While watching the Bill Clinton interviews I thought "I bet Bush couldn't even finish a People Magazine crossword." I miss the days of thinking Presidents.
