We opened this yesterday for Christmas and have already played it 4 or 5 times. The people who had decided not to play even asked to be dealt in the next game, it was so fun and easy.
There are 4 cards: movie, quote, role, and actor. We removed the actor cards to play with the kids, they are not familiar with actor's names. Each player has 10 cards and the object is to get rid of all your cards. Someone opens with a card...say, the movie card, and they name Toy Story 1. The next player must lay down a quote/role/actor card and name one that goes with Toy Story 1...say, lay down a role card and name Woody. Then move on to the next player. Player 3 may also place a role card and name Andy, or place a quote card and say "To infinity, and beyond!", or (if you are playing with actor cards) place an actor card and name Tom Hanks. When all 4 types of cards are played (there may be several of some, like quotes), that movie is closed, and the next player must start a new movie. Official rules say there must be one related card...say, a common actor...but with kids we just say the next player chooses. This is hilarious, because depending on if you are familiar with the current movie, you may be dying for a chance to use a card, or dreading it. But it's up to the people before you to keep a movie going, by playing a duplicate card, or completing the "set". Also, as you play cards, your options become limited. You may know a quote, but only have role cards. An actor's name may be on the tip of your tongue, but you can't quite get it. Your kids may know Spongebob the Movie backwards and forwards, but you've only seen it in passing on the way to the laundry room, and now your kids are kicking your butt with Spongebob quotes and characters and rubbing it in your face. And maybe you can't wait to play this with adults so there are more than just Disney movies and Alvin and the Chipmunks. But maybe that's just me. There are more in depth rules, of course, and other "Uno"-esque cards like skip, reverse, and wild cards, but you get the general idea of the game now, I hope.
We love it. And I personally love that it can be tailored to kids, cause I have a lot of them, and they love kid movies, but then adults can play the same game with movies my kids can't watch for 10 more years. It's also very much like Uno in that it can be as tame or ruthless as you make it, and deceptively simple. We love that about it. It also is perfect for traveling, no bulky boards or pieces, it's slightly larger than 2 decks of playing cards. Anyway, well done to the creators, we have thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to many more crazy games.
