Add a Comment"Dunkin' Donuts, move the D and you've got Unkind Donuts..." Loved this documentary. The Crossword Competition ending had me biting my nails.
Lovely, insightful, journey -- always respectful of its somewhat eccentric characters. Jon Stewart is hilariously competitive ... and, yes, puzzling can be very competitive!
An totally entertaining, funny at Times, movie about of all things.... crossword puzzles! Who knew! You will laugh outloud at times. I've watched it twice. (I gotta get out of the house more.)
