Editorial Review

Although it is designed for two or more players, this movie-based game is much more fun for a larger group of film buffs. You'll need a DVD player, along with your TV, to play the game, and it also requires the use of remote control to move the game forward as you play. The rules of the game are very simple; challenging players to recognize and call out answers based on video and sound clips they see on the screen. And because there is a good variety of classic films mixed in with more contemporary movies, the game will appeal to movie fans of all ages. Includes three different games.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Major Downfall in a Great Party Game..., November 21, 2004

This review is from: Hasbro Shout About Movies#1 (DVD)

This game is a great party game for anyone who is a movie fan. There are 8 very different rounds that each have a variety of questions, from movie quotes and naming titles of movies to interseting historical facts.

The coolest part of the game is that it is completed played on the DVD player itself and doesn't require a game board or any game systems. The game tracks your score for you, so you don't need paper or the ability to add.

The biggest downfall that nobody seems to mention is that this game can only be played 3 times!! $20 for a game that can only be played 3 times is a little pricey. When you put the DVD in your player, the game asks you to select a game that you haven't played before and gives you 3 choices. The game is not like some of the other movie trivia games that shuffle their questions, it is the exact same game everytime.

Final Verdict: A great party game that has trivia for everyone! Buy it used and then sell it or give it to a friend after you play the 3 games on the disk.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea...and fun...the first time, December 1, 2004

This is a great party game, and if you love movies you will have a blast playing this game with a group of friends. While given clues about various films, players divided into two teams will shout out movie titles, or landmarks, or movie stars. The game is simple to play, and the built in instructions and score-keeping are real time savers...there is no gameboard to deal with, dice to lose, or pawns to move so that is a real plus. But the main drawback to this game is that once you play the 3 games per dvd, you won't go back to play it again because the questions asked on each game never change. Maybe if they combined the games on all 4 disks available onto one dvd you would go back and play again....because then it's not as likely you would remember the answers, but with only 8 rounds per game and 10 or less questions or clues per round it's hard not to remember what the correct answers are. The variety of films covered isn't bad, but folks who enjoy older films of the 30's, 40's and 50's won't find too many questions pertaining to films made prior to 1970, and horror fans will not find any questions pertaining to thier blood soaked genre. If you can find a copy of this game used, or for around $10 you should pick it up. But $20 seems a little steep for a game that will played and put away until forgotten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game For ALL Ages, November 30, 2004

This review is from: Hasbro Shout About Movies#1 (DVD)

This game was extremely entertaining for our group of 4 adults and three kids. My 13-year-old was able to answer a few, but most of the clips were from movies before her time (our box read 13 and up). We all had a complete blast and felt this is a game meant to be passed on, since you can only play it three times. It was well worth the $20 (although my sister said she got hers for $10 - maybe she was mistaken).

Basically, it's three different games, eight rounds each, lots of shouting, and lots of fun! This would make a great party game, much like pictionary in the late 80's, but one you wouldn't want to play too often or else it loses some of its charm.

Buy it for your holiday get-together and put it away until next year - or pass it along and share the fun!
