Me and my friends have a little bit of humor when explaining movies to other people. We tell them enough to not spoil everything, but at times it seems like we over simplify things. So in a series of jokes, we came up with different ways to describe what would otherwise be good family movies.
For example, "A man takes over a bunch of school kids in order to win a competition" which is the plot for School of Rock. Others include "A woman takes care of a group of vertically challenged men, only to be sought after and killed by her relative" a.k.a Snow White, and my favorite "A son is kidnaped and a father must travel around the world to get him back" which is in relation to Finding Nemo.
Explaining movies at their basic roots can also be interesting when recommending movies to other people. "A family has a nice weekend get away in the mountains while the father finishes his book" is the plot for The Shinning. "Two friends cover up a murder in order to live the high life" is the plot for Weekend at Bernies.
If you're looking for a bit of movie fun, try explaining movies like this with your friends and see if you can guess which movie it is. Break it down to it's simplest form without giving away too much detail that the movie would incur. Last example is "One man stands between the conviction of an innocent kid and a group of racist bigots." See if you can guess which movie I am referring to.
