Both films are very similar, not only because they are both Comedies and have the same sort of setting and the same audience reaction. The plots are also very similar because they both stick to the stereotype layout of a comedy genre. They both have people who don’t know what to do with life so end up trying various things, but a couple of things go wrong and complicates stuff even more. After thinking about it all the character gets it all back to normal and everyone lives happily ever after. Both films are very enjoyable so people would like to see both.
Both of these analysis of film plot will help me when making my film and deciding the genre of the film and how to storyboard the film. When looking through the plot of the film you are able to get an instant feel to the film and you are able to tell weather or not you will like or dislike the film. Looking at the plots of various films will help me decided on what I want my film to put across to the audience and what I want to happen during the duration of my film. It also helps me look at character type for the actors and actresses, which would be in my film.
