5.0 out of 5 stars Forward, Four Word! July 23, 2010

By John Mustafa

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am amazed at this labor of love. From a little website brainchild comes the collective genius of a world of four-word film reviewing enthusiasts. The brilliant Messrs. Clews and Onesi have produced a modern classic. I've been a long-time website enthusiast and know many of the reviews there, but I find myself repeatedly going back to the book to get a chuckle, and it never fails me. I'm already wearing out the covers! This one is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty and Wonderful July 22, 2010

By Debra Azer Kaye

Format:Paperback

A friend of mine told me about the website, and I saw the book advertised there. THIS BOOK IS A RIOT! It has the flavor of a coffee table book -- one that you don't have to read in a single sitting; a book that lends itself to periodic enjoyment. But it's the size of a compact novel. Bigger than its boundaries, the Four Word Film Reviews book is a wonderful and witty compendium of concise thought on the films of today and yesteryear. Hours of enjoyment here. My favorite review? For Pinocchio: "Knotty boy." It's a treasure.

Snort out loud funny! Laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants. Definitely the next coffee table read. A must have, especially for parties, get togethers, long car rides, and ahem the lavatory. Can't stop laughing or finding 4 words to describe things.
