This book is fun but the puzzles are hard! After trying to figure out the movie from the icon clues, it really felt like a victory to get the answer correct.
Some of the movies are not ones I am familiar with...in fact, some are very esoteric...so it was a bit frustrating to spend time trying to guess a movie I did not know.
If you have a friend who is a BIG movie fan (like I do) this seems like a perfect gift.

From the description, I though this was a board game. Its actually a very small book with hand drawings. I hope my sister enjoys reading it during down moments, but not the activiity I thought it was.
