Insert Coin assumes you know a lot of stuff about games and arcade games in particular. This makes it bad for the uninitiated, but for guys like me, who remember the arcade era as a very fun time to be alive, it's a really fun trip down memory lane, where I actually learn something new about a favorite era of mine. Though...I'm not so sure people that have never seen and enjoyed these games will enjoy this movie that much.
