Joe is a well developed character and full of rage about the loss of his girlfriend, and it's a look into the mind of a young boy who has just experienced a huge loss and doesn't have any idea how to process it all. It's easy to feel for him in his situation."�- Portland Book Review

Entertaining fiction for film fans
By Marie D
I am an avid reader and movie goer so I thought this book might be a good read for me. Set mainly in suburbia over one summer, at times it felt a bit like a movie with its pace , the flashbacks and the subplots reminiscent of a situation comedy.
I thought the main character Joe was well developed and I really liked how it all came together at the end like a movie type ending. This is an enjoyable and entertaining read for fans of fiction and films.

Like a summer movie in book form...
By Larry Hoffer
I'd rate this 3.5 stars.
Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review. Many thanks to NetGalley and Pen and Picture for making it available!
The story of a teenager who spends much of his life watching or thinking about movies, Michael Ebner's Movie Game reads kind of like a blockbuster movie. There's action, intrigue, mystery, romance, violence, sex, and even a little drama. But like many popular blockbusters there's so much shoehorned into the plot it veers off the rails from time to time, but its charm ultimately keeps you reading.
It's the summer before Joe's senior year of high school. He spends nearly every waking moment watching or thinking about movies, or playing the rapid-fire Movie Game with his buddies, which he usually wins. He considers himself the defender of distraction-free movies, and often follows offenders home after the movie has ended. Joe also has late-night encounters with Nikki, who keeps their relationship a secret from her real boyfriend, and he's a big fan of dark dipping, or swimming in neighborhood pools late at night.
Joe and his older sister have been keeping up appearances since their father disappeared three years ago and their mother left to live with her new boyfriend, afraid if authorities find out Joe is without parental supervision, social services may step in. While Joe is a cinephile, his sister is an excessive reader. But what Joe doesn't realize is that government agents have him on constant surveillance, because their father isn't quite who he said he was.
"Their excessive consumption of fiction was an essential distraction from their broken home."
Suddenly Joe's life seems more and more like a movie—his new college-aged girlfriend may have hidden motives for their relationship, the stories he's been telling his sister to push her to live her own life are actually less elaborate than the truth, and then there's the increasingly annoying presence of the federal agents, who want his help tracking down his father, who has apparently become a terrorist. All that, and he's still dealing with the trauma of his high school girlfriend's tragic death three years earlier.
Will Joe choose the bonds of family over the long arm of the law? Will he finally get the girl he deserves? Will he be able to continue winning at the Movie Game, or will a new competitor supplant him? And most importantly, will they all live happily ever after?
Ebner's book is a little wacky and far-fetched (I can't tell you how often I had to remind myself that Joe was supposed to be entering his senior year in high school given his level of sophistication), but it's fun, funny, and even a little bit moving. There is a lot going on in this book—too much, I think—so the plot really goes all over the place, and you sometimes don't know what scenario you're in at a particular moment. But Joe is a fascinatingly charming yet flawed character, and you're compelled to keep reading to see where his story goes.
Summer movie season may be over, but Movie Game is like a summer movie in book form. All you need is the popcorn.

Scenes and plot are movie-like.
By P. Greer
There is a lot going on in The Movie Game. The book opens with the main character, Joe, telepathically shouting to the couple in the movie theatre to, “Shut the hell up!” We’ve all been there, right? Imaging what we would like to do to those annoying theatre goers. Joe takes it a step further, he actually does do something to them. That in itself could be the plot of a story - someone stalking and getting even with people who annoy him at the movies. But that is just one tiny aspect of this crazy novel.
There is so much going on in this novel. It has an almost movie-like feel to it, the scenes are so well described and the action and plot ruthlessly plowing ahead. Joe’s dad vanished 3 years ago and now some government agents are following him in case his dad gets in touch. There is a gorgeous new neighbor, Felicity, who makes him read books to be able to spend time with her. Joe is still recovering from the death of his girlfriend.
Almost as interesting as all the twist and turns that takes place is the movie game that Joe and his friends play. One person names a movie, the next person has to name and actor in that movie and then name another movie that actor was in. For some reason, I am always drawn to characters that have some sort of obsession. A desire to deeply know all about something. I loved how much these characters loved movies.
I didn’t realize that this was a YA novel. I found it very entertaining and if it was made into a movie, I would definitely want to watch it.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
