* DawsonCasting: Most players would be far more likely to use that experienced, 30-year-old actor in their film than one of the fresh-face 18-year-olds that are always attempting to join the Studio.

Adding more detail to a recurring complaint about the game.


** The game gives you dozens of props that have very limited use. So you've unlocked the new Horror pack and want to make a film about an axe murderer? Well, you can certainly have your actor ''walk around'' whilst holding an axe...

****The lack of sets or lack of matching sets is a complaint that have some have taken to mods to help. For instance there is a school hallway set and a scene for mentors to teach students, but no classroom sets. And no bedroom outside of a set of hotel rooms.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: ''Stunts and Effects'' introduced a miniature city set which allows for giant monster movies. Do you want to make a movie where two monsters fight? Well good luck editing up that ''one'' available fight scene.

* {{Narm}}: Some of the monster costumes look pretty cool. A shame that their face's don't actually move. Especially the first werewolf, whose mouth hangs wide open.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: You can unlock more than a few costumes that will almost never fit into your sets. There is no snowy sets for Santa Claus, for example.

* ShoutOut: It's a game about making movies; this is pretty inevitable.
** Several of the sci-fi costumes resemble [[StarWars Darth Vader and Imperial Stormtroopers.]]
** The Motion Capture Alien greatly resembles a Xenomorph.
** One scene available for the Bathroom set is almost identical to the famous shower scene from Film/{{Psycho}}
** Wally Cronkleberger, one of the announcers on the radio (from the 40s through the 60s), is without doubt an {{Expy}} of Creator/WalterCronkite.

Not sure how to word this. But considering that High School sets are in the game, and that the youngest an actor can be when they\'re joining your Studio is 18 years old.. it seemed to fit.
