Starring in your very own B-movie:You're in the Movies gives players, who can be anything from an action hero to a silent film star, a choice of fun and kitschy scripts in different genres. B-list actors often can't be picky, but now you can feel free to pick a genre, pick a script, and get to work becoming the star you were always meant to be.

Capture the Fun with the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera Xbox 360 brings You're in the Movies to life with the Xbox LIVE Vision camera. This device easily connects to your Xbox 360 and captures players' actions in your very own living room. Your actions are then spliced into short, knee-slapping films that highlight the unique and often far-fetched talents of your friends and family. Each performance is certain to incite riotous laughter, but the best part is you'll never run out of options with You're in the Movie's massive collection of clips, snippets, scripts, and characters. And since you're running the show, no clip will be quite the same and no scene ever ends up on the cutting room floor. Playing You're in the Movies is your time to be the star.

Game Options

You're in the Movies gives players a choice of fun and kitschy scripts -- there's no talk of highbrow writing here -- but a B-movie star like yourself can't be too picky. Your character of choice might be an action hero or silent film star, but it doesn't really matter. Just pick a genre, pick a script, and get on the set, because the director is ready to call "Action!"

Casting Call is another game play option. In this mode, up to four people can try to take the spotlight and play starring roles. During this game play mode a director guides actors through their roles with simple instructions and quick feedback. In fact, each actor will receive a rating based on physical performance. This scoring system creates fun competition and keeps players from getting too lazy.

Director mode. With this game option you can make the movie without having to play the mini-games. In Director mode, you control the script, the shots, the background audio, the narrative overlay, and the film FX. Pretty much everything. The clips are still about 1 minute long. You will not be making feature length films with this game.

User Reviews

I read a LOT of reviews on this product before buying it for my kids this Christmas- nearly all of them were written by serious "gamers" and 20-somethings who viewed this as a potential drinking/party game......none of those people liked this game AT ALL. they became bored with it quickly, the camera wasn't sophisticated enough, on and on. However, when I came to the 1st review on amazon by a family ( who posted an actual video of their game play, thank you very much!!!) I knew right away this was a game my kids would love. ( I think it is pretty fun myself!) The camera does act up once in awhile, but the kids really don't get that upset about it- usually if you mess with the lighting a bit or change the angle you can get it back on track. Every kid in my neighborhood has been over to play it ( even the new WII owners ditched their game time to come play at our house!) We have kids ranging from age 6 to 14 playing this game and they all think it's a blast! So. my review is , great for families

The game is a lot of fun, but has it's minor annoyances. Such as, you have to reset the background every so often because it won't recognize you, and you feel mildly pathetic playing it by yourself. Call your friends over.
The best parts about this game are this: It costs $20. The camera alone casts $30-$40. You're saving $10 and getting a game with it. If you have your friends over or family, it is a boat load of fun, especially when you decide to stop listening to the director and do whatever you want.
You can e-mail the videos to yourself if you have an internet connection.
I'd recommend it for nothing more than $25. It's fun, has some party value to it.

This game was one of the most interesting game announcements we saw at Microsoft's Keynote in the last E3, at least as far as party games go. I even got to try it with some other journalists, and I couldn't help but be curious about what it would be like to play a few mini-games with my friends and then obtain a cool custom movie as a result. Unfortunately, I can't say the game turned out to be a success, but at least it's on the right path, and hopefully the developers will consider fixing its flaws in order to make it shine.

The first good camera game for the Xbox 360 is finally here, now you have a use for your camera other than Video Chat and sending your friends random and weird images rather spontaneously. As the game comes in two flavours, with or without the camera, then if you've been looking for an excuse to pick-up the camera, then this game is most certainly a good reason to take the plunge, especially if you've been wanting to give features such as Video Chat a look-in. You're in the Movies, will easily appeal to kids, but adults are sure to find this game just as entertaining.
The Xbox 360 is attempting to make a bigger push towards the strange phenomenon that is casual gaming. very few games on the platform, especially camera games, succeed in captivating, though YITM does a decent job. Chances are if you're reading this, you're a 'hardcore' gamer, and the thought of 'acting' stupid in front of the camera does little to entertain you. Perhaps seeing your friends and family getting involved, will provide you the different kind of entertainment you never thought you'd get from your Xbox 360. Humiliation is also an odd phenomenon, watching is strangely satisfying, though you may find that you pass caring about that, and want to simply join in on the fun. The gamer in you just may want to prove your dominance in this game too, though be sure to have a towel and some water nearby dear gamer, you'll be needing these with the long acting/exercise sessions ahead.
