Schmovie - The Hilarious Game of Made-Up Movies!

It's a really fun game, quick to set up, easy to learn directions and rules. This game really works your creative muscle and can lead to really funny situations. Instead of wasting paper for writing down your suggestions the game comes with 5 dry erase boards and markers. The only problems i have are that my game came with 2 defective markers, they were totally dried out, and it's limited to 3-5 players. Otherwise its a flawless and genius game. If you have a game night with friends i highly recommend this.

The concept seemed funner than playing the actual game. Kind of disappointed. We are a pretty creative group who love playing Cards Against Humanity, Balderdash, Malarkey, Quick Wits, and other such games, but this one just didn't play as well as it seemed it should. We ended up just picking cards and making up movie titles for laughs without actually playing the game. That was more fun. Not everyone can come up with original clever, witty and applicable movie titles in minutes using the specific criteria of the cards. All of the examples were obvious and funny, but the majority of the actual card combos that get picked are not nearly as easy to create clever titles with. Maybe if you played with a group of advertising and marketing people. Or maybe we didn't have enough alcohol.

I bought this game for my boyfriend who is a film buff and lover of board games. We brought it over to a friend's home to play...and here is what happened:Most of the markers were dried out even though we had just opened them. Not a big deal, since replacement markers can be easily bought on the cheap. Luckily, our friends had some handy. However, I thought I'd include this since you might want to test them out before hosting your game night! Me, my boyfriend and his friend loved the game. However, the two other girls seemed to hate it. This game isn't for everyone. We also played this with a different group of friends and once again, some liked it while others hated it.IF you play this with the right group of people it will be really fun! It's definitely for more creative types as it really works your brain to come up with unique movie titles. Some people just aren't very creative, and that's ok...but keep in mind that you'll have to be selective in choosing the right group to make playing this game a really fun experience.If you find the right group of people, you will have a blast! It reminds me of apples to apples or cards against humanity except that YOU have to come up with the answers rather than simply selecting a card.

I love games that allow the players to be creative. There is almost unlimited replayability here. Players roll the dice to get the genre of movie and pick two cards to show what and who the movie is about. Simple and yet, the ideas are endless and genuinely hilarious! As with most party games, your mileage may vary but, for us, this was a winner and we all had a great time.

YOU MAY HAVE TO MAKE UP YOUR OWN RULES BECAUSE THE GAME'S WERE TOO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND!Okay, maybe we just weren't in the mood to think, but we were ROFL just reading the directions. Finally, we used a few we understood and started the game. We had lots of fun.

This game I found on Amazon by complete accident, and I am glad I did. It looked unique, so I went to YouTube and watched a video of 4 people playing the game. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time watching the people play. I went back to Amazon put the game in my cart and bought it. I've had the game for about a week and have played it at least 3 times with friends. At first it's a little hard coming up with creative titles, but once you get the creative juices flowing it is endless fun. I recommend getting this game and giving it a try. Who doesn't like to have fun with friends.P.S. I had a slight problem when the game arrived, so I contacted the makers of the game. They could not have been nicer in helping me with my problem. So not only is this a fun game, the makers of the game are genuinely good people.BUY THIS GAME!!!!

It's not whether you win or lose, it's about playing the game that counts with Schmovie. Sure, you want to win a cheesy, cardboard award, but everyone gets plenty of belly laughs as the improbable movie titles roll by. It's not trivia, you don't have to be a movie buff, and while some might be better than others in the group, it's the fun of playing that matters.Don't be put off by the "13+" age suggestion. It's not insanely complicated or rude. You just need a few years of life experiences to imagine a "Drama about an incompetent vampire" or any of the hundreds of other possible scenarios that might arise.The game comes with erasable cards for answers, but you might want to substitute scrap paper and pens so you can keep the choice answers. You can also expand the number of players that way, and the more the merrier.

I bought this to play on Christmas Eve with my extended family. We always have lots of fun playing games late into the night each year and usually try out one new game. There were 15 of us playing in five groups of three. We are all intelligent, movie literate, funny people, and this game stumped us! It sounds good in theory, but it is very difficult to come up with funny answers that fit all the criteria of the game. Each round was taking us about 15 minutes. Then we started allowing only five minutes per round. That made it more frustrating . We gave up and played some of our old favorites instead. I was very disappointed as this game sounded like so much fun. I would return it if I could. I wouldn't recommend it.
