good idea but dissapointing - By: P. I. Ruiz Alvarez, 26 Aug 2008
I thought this quiz would be about movies, not about obscure facts related to cinema, the kind of question that only the producers would know. I think the idea is good & the DVD is well developed but it is imposible to play because of the questions.

Pleasant, laid-back, but interactive? No. - By: AquaViola, 05 Dec 2007
There are two modes of playing: single-player, & teams.

Single-player first: You get asked 10 multiple-choice questions about films. I played it twice, & the second time I got asked 3 questions which I got asked the first time. Also, I think I got 6 ticksin the first round, yet at the end it only showed the number "5". So for the second time I counted how many I got ticks, & I got 7 ticks. The number at the end: "4". So, the single-player mode is repeditous, & can't count.

Multiple-player mode: You have 16 screens, each with 25 questions. You go through the 25 questions, answering A, B, C or D...on a piece of paper. Afterwards, you get to mark the answers.

Excuse me, but isn't this called: Barry Norman's "Interactive" DVD Film Quiz? I would not count it as interactive if the DVD could be theortically replaced with a video, & this one can. So it is not interactive, unless the activity is choosing the screen, & saying "Please proceed".

However, it would probably be good for people who don't want the gameplay of "Scene It", who want something laid back, & like Barry Norman (as I do).

Given the fact that it is not interactive, I might have given it 2 stars, but I'll give it 3, because the DVD itself is beautifully done, & well designed (apart from the interactive gameplay!).

Bit of a Curate's Egg - By: Nobby, 07 Jun 2007
The Single Player Game gets tedious very quickly...
With questions repeated & having to hear them all again
if you ever return to the game.

The 2 Player / Team section is better
16 sections with 25 questionsin each
Which (CITRUS HOUND) you answer on a piece of paper
which you swap with the opposition ---
before hearing the answers.

I did not mind the actual 'Film' questions (I did quite well)
but the film trivia...
(what was X paid for Y, or who was Considered for Such-and-Such)
was a bit tough.

OverAll I give it a 3/5

Game for all the family????? - By: beauty-or-beast?, 13 Jan 2007
Disappointed, as we were expecting a lighter quiz which wouldn't put our teenage children off. This is one for total cinema buffs. You have to be eruditein the history of cinema to feel you're not a dunce, so it doesn't seem suitable for the whole family. Huge bank of questions, but generally pitched too high.

dvd not working - By: CITRUS HOUND, 05 Jan 2007
Dont know if anyone else has experienced problems with this dvd . I brought my copy on weds from Virgin megastore & it seems that on the question page it highlights the arrows to go either on to the next question or to ask the current question again - but does not allow me to scroll up & down the answers /pick the answers . I have tried it on two different dvd playes now & still the same prob . Wondered if anyone had any ideas what I'm doing wrong ???
