When aliens intercept video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack Earth, using the games as models. Knowing that he must employ a similar strategy, President Will Cooper (Kevin James) recruits his childhood pal, former video-game champ and home-theater installer Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), to lead a team of old-school arcade players and a military specialist (Michelle Monaghan) in an all-out battle to save the planet.

Critics Consensus

Much like the worst arcade games from the era that inspired it, Pixels has little replay value and is hardly worth a quarter.

The film catalogues the worst set of performances seen in a while, particularly Dinklage's accent and Gad's pubescent antics.

Irish Times

It's a neat idea for a parody disaster film but it's wholly lost in this melange of underwritten characters and awful dialogue.

Rated: 2/4

BuzzFeed News

There are scenes in the surreally lazy, occasionally funny Pixels in which Sandler's face slips into the exact same weary, disgruntled expression he wears in Funny People.

Reel Film Reviews

...a fun, innovative premise that is, for the most part, employed to underwhelming and frequently tedious effect...

Rated: 2/4

Deep Focus Review

The humor is juvenile and inane, the characters are unbelievable and over-the-top, and the overall temperament is childish.

Rated: 1.5/4

Monahan is at least given the chance to get her teeth into the role of the army specialist drafted in to help kick some otherworldy ass.

Idc what anyone says, this movie is great. The nods to old games that would make you point at the screen and say "i know that guy!" The story, while may be obsurd, isn't too crazy and at most will make you say "huh? Oh whatever, I'll go along with it." Plus, the way Sandler handles his role wraps the whole film into one good bundle. It's worth a watch.
