3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, quick read, June 20, 2000
By A Customer
I tore through this quick reader the same day it arrived (while staying home sick from work.) It put a smile on my face, and made me want to see or re-see a bunch of movies.

The book is pulled together bits of a newspaper Q&A style column, and therefore comes off overall a bit disjointed. I don't care for the somewhat arbitrary organization of the excerpts, but of course, I can't come up with a better way -- related Q&A's are grouped together under general categories (ie "Minnesotans and Mississippians" and "Injuries") and then the categories are alphabetized.

Dispite these problems, I enjoyed the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like Cecil Adams' "Straight Dope", only about films, December 1, 1998
By A Customer
It's reassuring to know there are people out there who obsess over the same details of movies as you do, and Roger Ebert has found them (or they've found him).

The book is at its best when Ebert's more witty correspondents write in with smart-aleck observations and questions; Ebert always rises to the occasion trying to one-up them.

Loads of fun! (Could use a more complete index, though...)

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Thumbs up for Rober Ebert, August 5, 1997
By A Customer
The latest book by America's favorite film critic is the best commode reading since Reader's Digest. I mean that in a flattering way, too. You probably wouldn't want to read through the whole book in one sitting, but a few pages worth kill time very nicely.

You'll find loads of great facts, info, and trivia about your favorite movies, all done with humor and wit, and backed-up by the encyclopedia-like knowledge of the Movie Answer Man.

If you check the fine print, you'll find my question about Strange Days
