<A> after a Title indicates Animation,
<K> after a Title indicates recommended for Kids.
(F) after a Category indicates the film comes from

be dubbed or have sub-titles.
Many movies are reviewed more than once by a reviewer and his/her associates from a
particular publication or source. The HIGHEST review achieved is the one maintained
in our database. Reviews are never lowered unless an error is suspected.
For New Theatrical Reviews Only The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times Film Critics do not provide a rating system using stars. Reel.com's and MSN.com's editors closely read those critics' reviews and then attribute a star rating that approximately reflects each critic's general opinion.
MSN's editors also interpret Alpha Reviews from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Four-Star reviews from The Chicago Tribune and The Boston Globe and convert them to 5-Star reviews.
Disparities between reviews from the same source is the consequence of Reel's and MSN's editors unique evaluation of the source review material.
Running Times are approximate.
Errors and omissions on this page may be reported to Video-Reviewmaster
by using the e-mail button provided on the home page. We regret
we will no be able to answer every e-mail personally but be
assured each notation will be examined and, if accepted, included
in future updates.
Suggested Ages is available for titles reviewed by "The Parents
Guide to the Best Family Videos" and "The New York Times
Guide to the Best Children's Videos" only.
There is an unavoidable duplication of reviews from particular reviewers who are represented both by their name and their publication. Since these reviewers are amongst the most respected, we have allowed this duplication and regret any associated confusion. Our service is as accurate as possible but it not scientifically perfect.
