Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Screenwriter or not, anyone will get a kick of this simple but creative guide to coming up with movie plot ideas. Justin and Jason Heimberg, comedy screenwriters in Hollywood, have assembled a spiral-bound, three-paneled interactive flipbook that offers readers endless (well, 27,000) movie plot combinations. The book’s panels are arranged vertically, with the top panel starting off the scenario with a protagonist (e.g., "An adorable panda cub," "A flamboyantly gay hairdresser," "A small-town girl with big-time dreams"). The second panel gives the heart of the action (e.g., "hits the karaoke circuit," "becomes a pimp," "struggles to get off heroin"), while the third panel gives the plot its twist (e.g., "with the help of former tennis great Ivan Lendl based on a true story," "set against the backdrop of a Florida retirement community," "to save the local synagogue"). Aspiring writers will find plenty of inspiration here, and will certainly owe thanks to the Heimberg brothers if their film about "Three naughty nurses" "on the run from the Mob" "in the heart of Amish Country" wins an Academy Award.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, July 6, 2004
By "tanya49" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
You can literally spend hours flicking through this book, and it never gets old! It's really good fun, and had my entire family begging for more. I would highly recommend it, both for your own entertainment and as a gift for almost any occasion. Highly addictive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Creative Problem Solvers!, August 26, 2006
As a Destination Imagination team manager, I highly recommend this book for its potential as an improv tool. Teams can create an assortment of wild scenarios and enact the scenes, improving their ability to improvise. With 27,000 possible scenarios, it is a resource that will last teams for years!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and entertaining sourcebook , August 9, 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
The Official Movie Plot Generator is an engaging means to generate 27,000 admittedly cliche movie plot possibilities. Not an ordinary book, The Official Movie Plot Generator is spiral-bound and divided into three segments that can be mix-and-match flipped to put together a number of familiar movie hero styles with two possible yet predictible sidekicks, plot twists, or other features. Sample phrases to mix and match including "A cop who doesn't play by the rules" / "fights crime" / "with a mischievous orangutan" and "a fraternity of lovable slobs, misfits, and drunks" / "indulges in beer bashes, toga parties, and an assortment of ill-advised high jinks" / "despite being admonished by a crusty old dean", and many more. A fun and entertaining sourcebook for linking retreaded popular themes into hilarious combinations.
