This effective though fluffy documentary tackles the somewhat inconsequential topic of crossword puzzles. The deeper I was taken into this society of puzzle-solving, the more I realized that there isn't much that is interesting about the history or creation of crossword puzzles.
Yet somehow, I was entertained. I enjoyed the film's play-along technique, and it's fun to watch John Stewart yelling. I think this proves that with enough skill you can make an engaging movie about any subject.
