While not reviews, these are some of the best plot synopses that I've ever come across.

Most of those are true, a lot of them are funny, but this one for Sophie's Choice may be my favourite:
Mom loves one of her kids way more than the other one.

Senor Cossiboom reminded of a situation I had several weeks ago where I saw a friend at a local bank and she was asking me if there were any jobs available where I work. I told her that we were looking for a Spanish translator since we were seeing a lot Hispanic customers as of late. The clerk working the counter overheard me and said with her southern accent, "Don't know why you are catering to those folks. They should learn to speak English if they want to come here. This is America and they should get wit' the program or go back to their jungle. We sure no need them here".
Great southern hospitality.

This is inaccurate. Apollo beat Rocky in the first one. That one should have been:ROCKY: White man beats black man.
Negro beats retarded white man.

I like this one for The Wizard of Oz that someone mentioned in the comments section:
Also:Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Amoral narcissist makes world dance for his amusement.
Juno: Teen fails to get abortion, ruins lives.
Titanic: Crazy old widow disregards lifelong memories of husband, children, and grandchildren in favor of that one time she fucked a bum.

This is actually a meme born from an urban legend. Supposedly that quite excellent description is from an old TV Guide reviewswo17 wrote:I like this one for The Wizard of Oz that someone mentioned in the comments section:

Time to fire whichever intern wrote this shitCriterion wrote: With its giddily complex noir plot and color-drenched widescreen images, Made in U.S.A was a final burst of exuberance from Jean-Luc Godard’s early sixties barrage of delirious movie-movies. Yet this chaotic crime thriller and acidly funny critique of consumerism—featuring Anna Karina as the most brightly dressed private investigator in film history, rummaging through an intricate plot for a former lover who might have been assassinated—also points toward the more political cinema that would come to define Godard. Featuring characters with names such as Richard Nixon, Robert McNamara, David Goodis, and Doris Mizoguchi, and appearances by a slapstick Jean-Pierre Léaud and a sweetly singing Marianne Faithfull, this piece of pop art is like a Looney Tunes rendition of The Big Sleep gone New Wave.

Hmmm, widescreen images you say? And it's a movie-movie on top of that?
Jeez.

"Looney Tunes rendition of The Big Sleep gone New Wave" is possibly the worst thing I've ever read in my life, and I've been in creative writing workshops

I've been in creative writing workshops, too, and "Looney Tunes rendition of The Big Sleep gone New Wave" is the second worst thing I've ever read in my life. The worst thing I've ever read in my life was a twenty-five page Christian-Sci Fi extract in the creative writing workshop that involved a character named, without any attempt at irony or humor, the 'Lord of the Dance'.domino harvey wrote:"Looney Tunes rendition of The Big Sleep gone New Wave" is possibly the worst thing I've ever read in my life, and I've been in creative writing workshops

I'm not sure it's possible to accurately describe Made in U.S.A. without losing 95% of the potential market. Imagine: "An inscrutable, predictably 'deconstructive' genre movie in which Godard lashes out at his ex-wife again while executing a curiously hollow retread of his previous films -- replete with brow-furrowingly extensive references to mid-60's French politics!"
That's how my memory is currently billing it, though I'll probably revisit the film hoping to be proved wrong when the Criterion disc becomes available. I want to like this movie, but I've failed thus far.

I believe that its in reference to the mid-80's Marvel comic characters. For some reasons he appeared to include some comic book characters (i.e. Green Arrow, Green Lantern, etc.) in there as well.Zumpano wrote:Certainly not the Fritz Lang film.
