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.

    You're in the Movies, will easily appeal to kids, but adults are sure to find this game just as entertaining.

    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.

    Playing mini-games and watching a movie featuring yourself and your friends is fun the first few times, but it wears off fast. The game does a good job of including everyone and providing a fun time, and the Director's Mode extends its value, but if you already own the camera and get tired of party games easily, perhaps there isn't a good enough reason to jump into this purchase.

    A brilliant bit of fun for an hour or two. [Feb 2009, p.86]

    You’re in the Movies is largely a technological failure, making the game impossible to play at times. It’s fun to participate in the different minigames for a while, but the only reward is a minute-long trailer that is way too short to include enough images from the efforts everyone’s made during playing.

    I know there was good intent that went into the making of the game, but, in all honesty, it turned out to be a very glitchy mess.

    People don't live in movie studios. They live in houses and flats that are lit for comfort, not to fulfill the technical requirements of an aging webcam. If you really want to put yourself and your friends on the TV, leave this failed experiment on the shelf, and put the money towards a digital camcorder instead.

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    … Expand

    Frankly, this game got nothing right. Better own a green screen if you want it to work at all. Even if it did work perfectly, the game is so Frankly, this game got nothing right. Better own a green screen if you want it to work at all. Even if it did work perfectly, the game is so obnoxious that you cannot stand to play it after just a little bit. You don't get bored, you get annoyed with the game. My little brother and sister couldn't stand the game. We played the game for a total of 20 minutes before we packed it up and traded it in online. I got this free with a bundle, and to be perfectly honest, it wasn't worth it. Worst game ever.… Expand
