 For a limited demographic
I bought this for my father, but he was unhappy with the small print. Next time I'm trying "Videohound."

F#@k Leonard Maltin.....JK
This is definitely a good buy, but there is one ridiculous fact about this book: They give the RIDICULOUSLY overrated movie 2001: A Space Odyssey four stars and give movies like The Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump two and a half. The reason they gave for giving this rating to Forrest Gump was something about how dumb it is that he was on-hand for all these events in history. HELLO? That's the whole comedic point of the movie! Anyway, it's still a definite good book to have, that was the only problem I had with it.

 Product Unusable
Leonard Maltin's reviews are excellent. Nevertheless, this product is essentially unusable. In an effort to keep the page count down, the publisher has used a very small type face that I have difficulty reading even though I have a full correction in my reading glasses.
The book is adequate if one wishes to look up a single item. Browsing? Forget about it!
I have a 1999 edition of the Leonard Maltin book and it is a delight to use and browse. I have browsed it so much that its paperback binding has begun to fall apart. I plan to have my old edition professionally rebound and to donate my new edition to the book drive of my local library.
Let someone else get the eyestrain!

 A must have movie guide. ( mhilda )
Leonard Maltin's 2009 Move guide is a must have for anyone who enjoys movies. Whether you buy DVDs or rent them, this is a guide to help one make informed choices. Mr. Maltin rates movies up to 5 stars (the best) and indicates which ones bombed. He also tells you whether the movie is on DVD, Video or Video disc. He includes a list of places to purchase DVDs through mail order. There are actor and director indices. If you like Paul Newman, he will give you a list of some of the movies he was in. It is a treasure trove of information.

The guide of guides ( marzo43 )
I both enjoy Maltin's show on cable TV and this handy review book, BUT is the book available in a larger print size?
