Mom of three. Movie fanatic.
Much to dish about.
Ah, the movies. There’s nothing like them. But let’s face it: they don’t make them like they used to. The action is more real, the stories more intense, and the ratings more relaxed. So you need a critic to tell you not only if a movie is good, but good for your family. That’s where I come in. I’m Box Office Mom. And I’m your behind-the-scenes ticket to family-friendly films.
