Introducing parent-kid video movie reviews
Bunchland is all about making sure your family has the best time, and that includes when you go to the movies. We hate to see you waste your hard-earned dollars (and two hours that could be spent playing outside) on a big stinker of a movie.
On that note, we give you Big Thumb, Little Thumb: video movie reviews from families. Sort of like Siskel and Ebert, but with parents and kids. Once a month, we’ll go see a movie before it hits theatres and give you the lowdown. Did we love it and are we dying to see it again? Or was it a big sucky suckfest that you should run away screaming from? You’ll get a full recap from our trusted panel of experienced film critics. They may not have fancy “film school” degrees or anything, but they know movies.
Our first review comes from Bunch creative director Rebecca Brown and her 6-year-old son Sam. They went to see Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. What did they think? Here’s their video review:
Want to be considered to film your own Big Thumb Little Thumb, and take your kid to a fancy media screening of an upcoming movie? Let us know.

I would like to be considered for the Big Thumb Little Thumb.. my son who is 8 and I love to go to movies together, I also have a 3 year old son so any movies that would appeal to either of them we would love to participate. Thanks Stephanie
Awesome Stephanie! We’ll e-mail you to chat about this some more.
I agree with the comme ci comme ca rating but I disagree with the overall review. The storytelling was great. It was just too scary to be relaxing. Some parents took their kids out. The funny parts were few and far between.
Thanks for the weigh-in Erika. Scariness for kids aside, did you love it? We know other parents in Bunchland did.
Love the movie. It is a little scarey but, sometimes that is what makes it so exciting. Love the thumbs up thumbs down method! I mean big thumb and little thumb, ha, ha!
We are reading the books, so I am really excited to see the movie. Hope it lives up to the books – amazing series for little boys. Thanks for the review!
Thanks Eren! Love your blog! Are you reading the books with all three of your boys?
