One sentence summaries - THE GAME

Inspired by 2Trew’s thread I thought it would be fun to post ‘movie summaries that miss the point’ and see if anyone can guess the movie!

O.K. Try this one…

“One man’s harrowing search for a young boy who could change his future.”

Citizen Kane?

nope - but good try!

Okay - either:

  • The Golden Child, with Eddie Murphy

or

  • 12 Monkeys

Oh, and I will add my own offering:

“Mafia = Bad, even if you aren’t a made man”

GoodFellas?

jabba…Goofellas? hahaha. Sorry, no one’s got it yet…, The summary isn’t that much of a misleading misinterpretation - its true, but it just fails to convey the essence of the movie. I guess a good rule for this game would be that the summary must contain at least a reasonable clue to the answer, as I did: i.e., think ‘future’, like Wordman did…

GoodFellas was a try at WordMan’s, not yours.
For yours, how about 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Sorry Jabba! Good answer - how about it wordman?

Hmmm. I’m beggining to see that this game might need some tweeking to be viable. Looks like we need a single sentence summary but with multple clauses, just to give the troops a fighting chance.

“One made-man, starts out life with nothing, and begins a harrowing search for a young boy and his mother, who could change his future.”

The Terminator?

YOU GOT IT!

Movie

-“This dude has an ugly baby, and it ruins everyones day at work.”

Alien?

A made man seeks revenge on the man who made him what he is.

Right on Jabba.
Is yours 'Blade Runner"?

No, sorry.

My offering:

Roomies slowly go insane after hacking up body.

Shallow Grave?

Jabba’s is Frankenstien, correct?

Jabba - Frankenstein?

That’s it.
