  • Summary: You're in the Movies brings the cool factor to kitsch as you live out your dreams of becoming a scream queen, zombie, or kung fu fighter. Premiering exclusively on Xbox 360 this holiday season, it's the first and only game of its kind to transport players into a magical world of cinema mixed with the hilarious world of improvisation. Using the Xbox LIVE Vision camera, players' actions are captured and placed into short, riotous films that highlight the unique and often dubious acting talents of friends and family. Performances never end up on the cutting room floor and are never the same. With You're in the Movies, you're about to be a star - if only straight to DVD. Get ready for your close-up.

  1. You're in the Movies, will easily appeal to kids, but adults are sure to find this game just as entertaining.
  2. If you’re willing to loosen up and act silly, the end product can be hilarious, especially if you completely ignore the “director’s” instructions.
  3. If four players do a round of You're in the Movies, a round will take approx. 30 minutes of time. It is an entertaining game, but there are some technical problems concerning shadows, light and distance. Another problem is that the mini games get boring after a short time.
  4. You're in the Movies is a box-office bust, despite featuring your own recognizable stars.

    This game is hilarious and loads of fun. If all you want to use your xbox for is the latest shooter - move along, you probably won't enjoy it. If you love having fun, acting silly, being a dork and involving your friends - it's a RIOT! Expand

    The best party game ever mad for 360! Yes, the pace could have been better and slightly higher, but this doesn't spoil the fun! An absolute must-buy if you have friends. Apparently the reviewers don't.... LOL. Expand

    Games shows promise but fails to deliver in the end. My 11 and 5 year old love it... Game is missing the ability to re-do a take if you know that you messed it up. Lighting is tricky to get right. Expand
  4. As many other people I would suspect purchased this game they mainly were after the live vision camera and the game itself was considered a bonus. I was however generally suprised that I put this game in and did enjoy it however the game loses its appeal after a couple of play-throughs due to its repetitiveness and then becomes dull and tedious to play. I did manage to play this with me and a friend and it was found to be a bit more enjoyable but again was brought down by the gameplay again repeating itself.

    My suggestion is for the price it is currently being sold at here on amazon to get it but only really if you want the live vision camera or have four friends to play with on a regular basis who you may generally enjoy playing games that make you all look like complete morons in front of one another
