This is one of the best film review books out there!!! Very funny and on point with their analysis of movies. Laughed out loud many times during the course of reading the book.

I highly recommend this book! It is as insightful and funny as their popular web site. Very nice to see movies reviewed from an African-American point of view.

I bought the book just because... I wasn't really *expecting* that much to come if it, although I do have the authors' website bookmarked for me to read before I visit the movies (about 3 times a week myself). Still, I bought the book, and in two days, the edges were all messed up. I had read it that much. Every person I showed the book took had to have the book snatched from them, since they were so into the book, and would just go from movie review to movie review. The reviews are not stuffy or stodgy... like someone saying 'I'm so intelligent and I know better than you do what you should like or not like'. Instead, with the 3 Chicks (that just *happen* to be Black), it's like sitting across a card table or else at the family picnic and talking about what we like, don't like, and it's so easy to find 'Yeah, that's what I liked about it, too... and what I didn't like that I couldn't put my finger on'. People reading the book were like me: they were hooked, quickly! I have just bought five more copies of the book to give as gifts - I want MY book for me. .... my foot is tapping. I'm ready for the next volume, Ladies!

What a great book! Don't miss it -- it's hysterical and refreshingly irreverent, yet still intelligent enough to make good points about the movies being discussed. I liked seeing reviews of "Auntie Mame" and "All About Eve" mixed in with more current releases. We're looking forward to their next book. Be ready to laugh out loud, especially when reading about "Movies That Just Plain Suck."
