Alright, folks, gather around because we’ve got a story for you about a man, a game, and a mustache. Yes, you heard it right, a mustache. The movie ‘Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game’ is coming out soon, and we’re ready to give you the lowdown.
So, we have Roger Sharp, a writer with a fantastic mustache, and he finds solace in one thing he has mastered: pinball. But, wait for it, he finds out that the game is illegal in New York City in the 1970s. Say whaaat? Yes, it’s true, folks. For over three decades, pinball was banned in the city that never sleeps. Can you imagine living in a world without pinball? We can’t even.
Now, what does Roger do? He joins forces with the Music and Amusement Association to overturn the ban. And what do they want him to do? Play pinball at City Hall! Can you believe it? Who knew that playing pinball could be a political statement?
But, wait, there’s more! Roger falls in love with Ellen, an artist and single mother. Roger’s path to save pinball ultimately rescues him, and he learns what it means to take a chance, and that commitment is the most rewarding gamble of all. So, it’s not just a story about a game, but it’s also a love story.
Now, we know what you’re thinking. Pinball? Really? Well, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Pinball is not just a game of chance, it’s a game of skill. And it’s addictive, like really addictive. Once you start playing, you can’t stop. It’s like a black hole that sucks you in, but in a good way.
The movie opens in theaters on March 17, 2023, and we can’t wait to see it. So, get ready to fall in love with a game, a man, and a mustache.
