I've never followed the game, I just watched the movie because I wanted to see if it lived upto the age rating...it did not. It most definitely is suitable for my pre teen to watch. You can see that there wasn't a big budget, its most definitely obvious. They may have blown most of it on the 3 cast members alone. It was nice to see Matthew Lillard back in the villain role though. There wasn't any action per say, its a very slow burner. I've walked away with more Q's than answers still. It did let do very well in my eyes, sadly.
