¢     Opening: Catch the Reader's Attention
Think about how advertisements sell movies: "trailers" show you a few seconds of the movie to get you interested. . Begin your review by retelling an incident from the movie 

¢     Second Paragraph: Take Care of Business
Near the beginning of the review, you have to tell the reader--the title of the movie, the director, the studio, the main actors, the rating. Also, in one sentence or two, you should explain very simply what the movie is all about--not necessarily what happens, but that might work, too, if you can say it in one two sentences.

¢     Third Paragraph: Character and plot summary
What happens in the movie? You shouldn't tell everything that happens--and especially not the ending.  Summarize the basic plot, in more detail than the paragraph above.

¢     And…write a sentence about each main character, what they do in the plot.

¢     Fourth Paragraph: A Key Moment or Idea
Go into detail about something important that interested you about the movie. Or write more about one character who was really intriguing. Or retell another big moment from the movie and explain why it is important. In this paragraph, go into depth about the movie.

¢     Fifth Paragraph: Evaluate the Movie
Do you recommend it or not? Who will like it (kids or adults)? The most important thing here is that you must also explain why you are making your recommendation.

¢    Give at least two reasons why you liked or didn't like the movie.
