| With the discerning eye that has made him one of the most popular film reviewers of our time, Lyons recommends a wonderful range of alternatives to the videos playing (sometimes over and over again) in the living rooms of American families. Culled from 25 years of movie reviewing, Lyons' book is filled with detailed plot summaries, critical observations, historical perspectives, and little-known anecdotes about the films and their stars. Covering the classics, recent films, and often overlooked screen gems, Lyons directs you to the best and most age-appropriate selections to share with your kids, from the youngest family members to teenagers.
