Examples of twenty-five word pitches.

BIG: When a boy wishes to be big at a magic wish machine, he wakes up the next morning and finds himself in an adult body.

TITANIC: Fictional romantic tale of a rich girl and poor boy who meet on the ill-fated voyage of the 'unsinkable' ship.

THE NUTTY PROFESSOR: Grossly overweight Prof. Sherman Klump, desperate to lose weight, takes a special chemical that turns him into slim but obnoxious Buddy Love.

MEET THE PARENTS: Male nurse Greg Focker meets his girlfriend's parents before proposing, but her suspicious father is every date's worst nightmare.

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE: Peyton Flanders seems to be the perfect nanny, but secretly she's out to wreck the lives of the family she's supposed to be helping...

All of these pitches are twenty-five words or less. I decided to look up some examples before creating my own pitch so that I could get a better understanding of how much detail was necessary. Since looking at them I feel that I feel more confident about the task ahead.
