My girlfriend is trying to think of this movie she watched when she was young, all she can remember is that two teenage(ish) people ended up going inside some video game.

it wasnt tron. and much older than spykids.
we are talking like 15-20 years ago that she saw it.
shes in the shower right now, she asked me ask you guys and gave me that, ill ask if she remembers anymore when shes done.
but any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hummm, so that would make two of us trying to remember the movie...
its two guys that where coding a kind of VR game, and they zapped them selfs into it, and they where not able to get out.
with the Help of the Game Chick, they got out.. but so did she. so the rest of the movie was them trying to cover it up, and basically hiding her.

weird science has nothing to do with kids getting inside a game
they do create a computer chick though who can do all kinds of magic stuff

we're up to 5 now
searching IMDB for "video game" gives 2000+ results, most of them are actual videogames. how annoying

ask her what she had for dinner 2 birthdays ago
thatll break the loop of frustration and the name of the movie might pop up

That's what I was thinking, but only Alex goes into the game world, not Maggie.... But she does go at the end, so maybe....

He didn't really go into the game work though...or did he?

Well, it turns out that the game is an audition for a real life war and he did so well that the Star League recruited him to fight in the war....
