Premise: Focuses on the man most associated with crossword puzzles, New York Times puzzle editor and NPR puzzle-master Will Shortz. Director Patrick Creadon introduces us to this passionate hero, and to the inner workings of his brilliant and often hilarious contributors, including syndicated puzzle creator Merl Reagle.
Saw this last weekend. I enjoyed it. It was a simple film about a simple pleasure shared by millions of people. Nothing too dramatic except the crossword championship finals at the end.
I like doing the NYT puzzle. I can only get to Wednesday or Thursday before my head explodes.
