Best Summed Up
About The Book
Over 100 recent film reviews summed up in the form of limericks - matching the limerick to the film poses the ultimate challenge for movie buffs and film geeks.
Since 2016, podcast legend Jeff Cannata has been presenting his film reviews in the form of a pithy limerick on the Filmcast (AKA The Slashfilmcast), one of the world’s most popular film podcasts. He introduces each with the familiar catchphrase: I guess you could say my thoughts on [NAME] are best summed up in the form of a limerick….
Now, for the first time, all these literary gems have been gathered together in book form and presented as a fiendish puzzle. Divided into five sections from Ridiculously Easy through to Pretty Much Impossible, the reader must match the limerick to the movie it sums up. From slasher films to arthouse, summer blockbusters to indie slow burners, Jeff's limericks cover every form of contemporary film.
If you are a fan of film, or a lover of clever rhymes, or both, Best Summed Up will test and delight you in equal measure.
