A lively saga about a young coding wizard who\u2019s charged with saving his family\u2019s gaming business, this celebration of old- and new-school creativity doesn\u2019t break novel ground in any respect. Fortunately, though, its good humor, spry pacing and likable performances should appeal to its pre-high-school target audience when it debuts in theaters on June 4 and on VOD on June 11.<\/p>\n<p>After getting himself suspended from school for hacking the college board\u2019s database \u2014 a crime that\u2019s hardly condemnable, since he did it to selflessly nab the student body new computers \u2014 Troy (Chris Carpenter) gets a shot at working for multiple sclerosis-stricken mom Kate\u2019s (Mira Sorvino) Playfield Games, a company she founded with her late husband (Bret Harrison). It\u2019s an ideal gig for wunderkind Troy, although it turns sour rather quickly, since Playfield Games is on the verge of collapse, forcing mom to agree to sell to corporate-behemoth rival Xodus Games if her staff can\u2019t come up with a hit title to premiere at the upcoming Pixelcon convention. That\u2019s a tall task, given that such success hinges on lead designer Jimmy\u2019s (Sean Astin) jackhammer-ing game \u201cJack House,\u201d which Troy quickly proves is a buggy disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Despite having already sabotaged their shot at nabbing one investor, as well as getting booted out of school, Troy is handed the keys to the Playfield Games kingdom by Kate, thus sowing discord between him and the rest of the staff, which includes technical lead Laura (Mary Lynn Rajskub), CFO Lyndon (Monte Markham) and story editor Marie (Kimia Behpoornia). Luckily for the boy genius, the film contrives to provide him with aid in the form of livestreaming-crazy best friend Nick (Philip Solomon) and new-girl-in-town \u2014 and aspiring singer \u2014 Paige (Indiana Massara). Both of these cohorts are as archetypal as they come, as are the basic race-against-the-clock, little-engine-that-could dramatic mechanisms at work in Jeff Carpenter\u2019s script, which goes through its motions with a fleetness that makes up for its predictable familiarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHero Mode\u201d is populated by cool, talented teens and mortifying adults with an embarrassing habit of trying to be hip, such that Kate wears a Nirvana t-shirt and quotes MC Hammer\u2019s \u201c2 Legit 2 Quit,\u201d and Laura decries Troy\u2019s mistakes as \u201cvery, very not lit, fam!\u201d Those jokes will likely make anyone over the age of 10 groan, but on the plus side, Astin, Rajskub and Sorvino\u2019s cheerfulness keeps the proceedings lighthearted and amiable. Carpenter isn\u2019t quite as charismatic as his more illustrious co-stars, but he and Massara both handle their lead duties proficiently, even during a late musical number that finds the latter performing a grating original number that would have been right at home on \u201990s alt-rock radio.<\/p>\n<p>Tesler and cinematographer Jonathan Hall douse their action in vibrant colors while zooming into and out of digital screens, and they do their best to make coding dynamic via sequences in which their camera rotates around a computer-bound Troy surrounded by virtual landscapes and figures. Occasional visual flourishes aside, \u201cHero Mode\u201d is as aesthetically straightforward as its plot is simplistic, right up to a finale that makes the triumphant value of collaboration and togetherness (and, by extension, family) both verbally and narratively obvious. Still, its cheesy earnestness goes down relatively smoothly, and with a shout-out to Nintendo maestro Shigeru Miyamoto and an offhand reference to \u201cSuper Mario Bros.,\u201d it demonstrates that it knows its gaming stuff.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
