I must apologize!
This IS the latest version of Movie Magic Sgreenwriter! The paperwork I received told me it was 4.5 and I didn’t open anything else until after I heard from the manufacturer which took awhile. They told me I could get upgrades so…
Today I opened the cd wrapper and found it to be the newest version. Don’t ask me why it wasn’t labeled earlier?
Anyway this is the latest and I apologize for earlier comments.
Cheers, By George

This is the best, most user friendly writing software I’ve used so far. Once you read the manual and familiarize yourself with the program, you will be writing screenplays faster than ever. If you’ve been struggling with word programs, you need this software. It allows you to concentrate on the story, and not on fighting ill formatted programs.

This program is not worth $172. It’s not even worth $60, which I’ve seen it on sale in some areas.
It’s basically a simple way of doing scripts. You can select things from the menu or hit hotkeys to write things like “EXT” or select which of the previous names you’ve written should come up.
Guess what?
You can do the exact same thing on any word program. Maybe there aren’t any direct hotkeys to put in “CUT TO:” but for people who write a lot it will take just a second longer to put that in manually. In fact it does take faster than hitting a hotkey, selecting a menu, and maybe answering one or more questions offered by the program.
Here’s what I suggest instead of buying this program: buy a screenwriting guide (“How Not to Write a Script” by Denny Flinn is what I suggest) and then either buy or use a word program: Microsoft Works, Microsoft Word, take your pick they’re all good. 3/4 of you reading this review will already probably have one of these programs on your computer.
I give it two stars because it does what it advertises, and in that respect it works. Trust me though, just get a book on screenwriting and write in a word program according to what it says. That’s basically this program, but $150 cheaper.

Movie Magic Screenwriter is by far the most helpful, easy to manage screenwriting program on the market. I have used other software such as Final Draft, and have found that Movie Magic is by far the best. It makes formatting your script as simple as possible, offering a wide variety of templates, such as television scripts, motion picture scripts, etc. It also helps you organize your characters and makes it easy to find certain scenes with it’s variety of tools to help you manage the script. This program is definitely worth the money.
