The Daly Review

This is a new blog designed to help family's when deciding whether or not to go see a movie. Today, it's tough to know if you should see a movie or not because the critics usually don't have kids and don't give fair reviews, or give them bad reviews for things that kids don't notice. The movie review will usually show a summary of the film; what age groups think about the movie, (preschoolers, elementary school kids, middle school kids, high school kids, and adults) and how much they give it (two thumbs up, one thumb down, it was OK, etc.); and a little something else. (favorite character, favorite moments with no spoilers, etc.)Hope you like our blog and enjoy The Daly Review.
