I have noticed that expression in different films, but don't get it.
Get it?

As an example, in the movie 13 going on 30, with Jennifer Gardner, there is a scene where a guest at the party refers to her boyfriend (Matt) saying: "you don't need permission of her to do so, 'cause your not like her play by play"...
That's what I mean.

It means a thorough description of an event as each sub-action is performed. It's is a sports metaphor that has taken on a broader use. You would explain a basketball over the radio thoroughly be telling what each of the players are doing at ever moment so that you could imagine what the scene would look like if you were present.

An explanation for a five year old would be a good example of "Play by Play".

it means how something is described. Such an example is when you hear someone give a "play by play" account of something, it means they're describing it as it happens.Such as a sporting event.
