So a while ago, there was this episode of Cougar Town (one of my favorite shows) where they played this game called Movie Mash-Ups. Of course, they used it as a drinking game, but I still thought it was a pretty awesome idea. Basically, you pick 2 movies that have a shared word in the title. But one of the movies has to have the word at the end, while the other has to have it at the beginning. Then you briefly describe the plot of the new combined movie for people to guess. For example: A single woman tries to stop her friend's wedding from being disturbed by 2 uninvited guests. ....(My Best Friend's Wedding Crashers)
Here's a clip you can check out if you want.
So, I thought we could give it a shot. I'll try to come up with some for you to guess:
1) An arrogant and outrageous leading man on a San Diego news station covers the story of a disfigured recluse who befriends and mentors a young boy.
2) A group of middle-aged men create a college fraternity that leads a group of children to compete in a battle of the bands competition.
3) Three bachelor's are left with the task of caring for a new baby who is then adopted by a successful business woman who moves to the country and develops her own brand of baby applesauce.
4) A group of office workers hate their jobs and while facing layoffs, they decide to rebel against their mono-toned boss. But then they must rescue a princess from another planet before the villain sucks all the air out of her planet's atmosphere.
5) A aging patriarch of a mafia family passes control of his empire to his reluctant son whose plans for his daughter's wedding get out of hand with the help of a flamboyant wedding planner.
6) A depressed middle-aged father gets a crush on his daughter's beautiful friend who has been held in an enchanted castle and has fallen for her beastly captor.
Now you give it a shot. Post your answers and some movie mash-ups of your own!

This is really hard, especially for me. But I came up with a couple:
ReplyDelete1. Four women share the trials and tribulations of living the single life in Manhattan until they meet a group of men in the midst of a midlife crisis. The group heads out to New Mexico to work out their troubles on a cattle drive.
2. A cultured professor takes in a poor woman from the streets on a bet and attempts to pass her off as a sophisticated woman. During the course of his training, though, the pair fall in love. Meanwhile, the professor adopts a beautiful cocker spaniel who, like her owner, falls in love with a street mutt from across the tracks.
Megan, I'm truly impressed! Good for you!
