I have often wondered who writes the plot summaries, have they even seen the movies? This from USA TODAY. "a disaffected actor finds a soulmate in a quirky woman." would you know this was GARDEN STATE!

Wow...this is a potentially GREAT thread. I'll look for some interesting ones tonight. It can be a guessing game.

Check out one of my favorite sites, The Four Word Film Review, for the ultimate in snarky brevity.

When I was editing Go!, I had to write the plot summaries for the film capsule page, and I can tell you it can be hard to effectively sum up some movies in just a few words. I mean, try to describe "Crash" in 10 words or less.

This is one of my favorite movies!
