A
Nickelodeon Made-for-TV Movie starring
iCarly actors
Jennette McCurdy and
Jerry Trainor. Trainor is Quincy, the gamer living in his parents' basement. Except his parents are selling the house. Conveniently, his helpful friend Wendell (played by Amir Talai) informs him of a video game tournament with a cash prize. Cash enough for him to buy the house himself. But the heretofore undefeated Quincy meets his match when he comes across a mysterious gamer called "Prodigy" that crushes him mercilessly. Quincy and Wendell set out to discover who this Prodigy is and find his weaknesses. Except, they find, Prodigy is a sixteen year old Chris Sanders (McCurdy). Whose mom thinks Quincy is her internet date... A light-hearted comedy that also has
Janet Varney as Chris's mom.
Tropes:
- Eat the Evidence: Played with in that the evidence is a note that's supposedly from Ash to Chris, asking if she wants to go to the prom. When the note turns out to have been a setup to embarrass Chris with, Sheldon races over and gobbles it down.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Tracey and Chris are both blondes and two of Chris' classmates are interested in her.
- FaceHeel Turn: Sort of. There's no real "good" side or "evil" side here, but Wendell definitely does turn traitor.
