Customer Reviews of Scrabylon (A Scrabble Movie)
Not the best out there. This Scrabble documentary was less professional than some of the other options. I'm surprised to see that Stefan Fatsis was involved, because his book was great! I definitely recommend Word Wars as a more enjoyable alternative.
Rich on content, poor on production
The production quality of this award winning documentary leaves a lot to be desired, but the content is worth watching. Most of this video comprises spot interviews with past champions such as Joel Sherman, Brian Cappelletto, Joe Edly et. al. Match coverage is limited, for the most part, to the final series of the 2001 Las Vegas World Scrabble tournament sponsored by Hasbro, the exclusive producer of Scrabble in the U.S.

>I suppose if the World Championship of Scrabble can only dish out $20K to the champion, one should not expect substantial funding for covering one of these events in a documentary. Nevertheless, if you're a fan of the game, you will find this video entertaining and informative.
What sort of people become obsessed with Scrabble - and why?
This film is as much a portrait of the people who become obsessed by Scrabble and by words themselves. They vary from stand up comics to professional psychologists to option traders - and all of them approach Scrabble wtih seriousness and great passion.
