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.

Product Description

All you need is a TV and a DVD player! Gather your friends (from 4 to 40 or more), sit down and get comfortable. With a click of the remote control, you're ready to play! Your on-screen host will fill you in on everything you need to know. It's that simple! So divide into 2 teams and get set to shout out your answer! It features film clips, movie stills and sound clips from classic movies all the way to today's box office hits. Features 3 games, each with 8 rounds. For 2 or More Players or Teams.

To Mr. Biel (creator)what a super concept for a game! My family is known for hosting incredibly fun parties, so every year for Christmas I make sure to either make-up a game or find one that can be played with lots of people. When I read about this DVD game, it seemed perfect so I purchased all four DVDs. I have to say, not only did we have the greatest time playing them, but everyone at the party (50+ people)swore they were going to purchase the DVD game for family members or friends. Okay, so you can only play the game one time - but each DVD takes about three hours to play. I look at that as a value considering it's a huge amount of entertainment for less than $20. Also, since I've played all four DVDs, I let each of the party guests take one of them home to give to a friend or family member so I feel like they will still get much more use. There are two drawbacks to the game, one is that there are several repeated movies from DVD to DVD (perhaps this was due to copyrighted material, not sure), the other is the scoring in the final round (you should be allowed to bet exact amounts vs. 15, 30, etc.) Regardless, the game is still great and I will purchase these again for future parties I attend. I'm also excited that more DVDs will be coming out and I will purchase those as well!

Friends of mine needed a game to play for a small party, someone brought Shout at the Movies . This trivia was fun for a DVD game. However, Many like me who are film buffs felt the game was slightly dumb down for a youth market.

My suggestion is make a game with older movies. This edition seems for for more for families running mainly 1980-present films

Now to the good points, it is a fast paced trivia game that keeps score for the players and lets you know where you stand after each round. It is a group game, so great fun family and friends

My family, ages ranging from 8 to 93 played this game on Christmas Eve and we had a blast. True you only get three games, but if we were to have rented a few videos, or all gone out to see a movie or bowling it would have cost just as much, probably more. You have to look at buying this game as a one time entertainment for a party or get together. Just as if you were gong to buy some pizza or something. It was a lot of fun and kept us laughing and enjoying ourselves as a family. Its intent is not to be like a computer game that you play over and over. Its intent is for one evening of good clean fun. The creators are very up front about that. It is what it is and I thought it was a blast. I am 34 by the way.

Thanks.
