What Makes It Uncommon

What’s that movie, you know, the one where a goose suddenly dies and it makes everyone really depressed? Keep thinking, you'll get it.* This laugh-out-loud party game challenges you to identify films from hilariously bad descriptions that make comedy out of confusion. The worse the explanation, the funnier the guessing gets. With side-splitters like "A weatherman is tormented by an animal" (Groundhog Day) or "Grandpa reads a long bedtime story" (The Princess Bride), you’ll be in cinematic stitches all night long.

  • Includes 300 game cards featuring the worst movie descriptions humanly possible.
  • Offers two ways to play: Compete to crown a winner or keep it casual for laughs.
  • For 2–8 players, making it ideal for game nights, parties, or family fun.
  • Compact and portable—bring it to dorm nights, happy hours, or bachelor/bachelorette parties.
  • Made in China.
*Spoiler: It’s Top Gun.

Usually ships within 24 hours.

Fun but hard!

This game is a lot of fun but harder than you think, especially if you are playing with younger kids who don't know a lot of the older movies that are included. Super funny descriptions!

Definitely a winner

Bought for daughter and her partner; both love movies from all 1970s through current. They really enjoyed this game and said not only did it make them laugh but was good for their brains and memories!! I can't wait to play it with them.

Poorly Explained Movies Game Gets Starring Role

The Poorly Explained Movies Game came to a house where nearly everyone has a imdm.com account (Internet Movies Database), and who love movies. For some of the folks in the house, it is literally their business. We have pulled out the cards on several occasions and asked each other the questions. It is a lot tougher game than we ever thought it would be and gives you a different perspective on well-known movies. We have had so much fun with it. I highly recommend it!

Fun Twist on Puzzles

My parents love puzzles, so when I saw this, I knew I had to get it for them. It's such a fun added twist!

I would buy this product again

Way more fun than I expected. We take the game to gatherings and play it while eating. Take a card from the box, give the clue and wait for the answer. Once it's answered correctly, pass the box to the next person so all get to be the "caller."
