Nickelodeon's 'iCarly' movie, 'Best Player', has controller issues - New York Daily News Posted: Courtney/Nickelodeon 'iCarly's' Quincy (Jerry Trainor) and Chris (Jennette McCurdy) in Nickelodeon's 'Best Player' 'Best Player.' Saturday at 8, Nickelodeon "Best Player" represents a rare stumble for the smart and likable "iCarly" franchise. This new two-hour movie, starring "iCarly" mainstays Jennette McCurdy and Jerry Trainor as rival video game wizards, has stretches of both smartness and likability. It's got a good heart, which isn't something you want to say out loud in the hip world of "iCarly," but which nonetheless accounts for much of its success. Unfortunately, the plot of "Best Player" lurches a little too far over the line between good silly fun and dumb. Plot, of course, is hardly the most important element here. Characters and banter and a general sense of good-natured cool count for more. Still, an outlandishly contorted plot can get in the way of that other stuff. Trainor plays Quincy, a guy in his 30s who lives in his parents' basement and has transformed it into the cocoon of a geek god. His worldly possessions largely consist of action figures still in their original packaging. Aside from the few hours he grudgingly spends as a Chinese-food deliveryman, his life's work is honing his skills at interactive video games. In that world he is known as Q, and Q rules. His name is legend. No one beats Q. If the gaming world is impressed, however, his parents are not. They announce they're moving to Florida because "that's what aging people do." They mention that the place to which they're moving does not allow children "of any age." The plot to here is shaky, but hanging on. Then Quincy gets the idea that he will win enough money to buy his parents' house, because even though they're asking $175,000 and he doesn't have 175 cents, there's this huge gaming tournament coming up where the first prize is $175,000. Complication: A rival has suddenly popped up, known only as Prodigy. Quincy enlists an admirer named Wendell (Amir Talai) to help him scope out and neutralize Prodigy - only to find out Prodigy isn't some fellow slacker geek, but a shy high school girl named Chris (McCurdy). We won't spoil the plot from here, mostly because the movie does that all by itself. But it involves Chris' mom, Tracy (Janet Varney), who soldiers her way through a role that would make a cartoon character ask for rewrites. Yes, there is a gaming showdown. It's aiming for good silly fun - with a heart - and if you're willing to suspend a lot of disbelief, it gets there. These likable characters would have been better served, though, if the plot were even as credible as the ones in monster destructo video games. dhinckley@nydailynews.com This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php Five Filters featured article: Comment Is Free But Freedom Is Slavery - An Exchange With The Guardian's Economics Editor.
