Reader Reviews
I have been buying film guides for about 25 years and this is my favorite. I obviously share similar tastes to the reviewers, because if they give a movie 4 stars I usually find it entertaining. It also doesn't have the insufferable adolescent snobbery that you often get with some guides e.g., Time Out.
