Just like its predecessors, Scene It? Bright Lights, Big Screen is a very fun party game -- as long as the guests at the party are really into movies. People who are not big moviegoers often scoff at the level of minutiae involved in some of the questions ("How would I know what year Ghostbusters 2 was released?"). But for people who take pride in knowing whether or not Shia LaBoeuf was in I, Robot, the Scene It? games are a blast. Bright Lights, Big Screen doesn't bring much new to the table (other than new questions and new clips), but this edition marks the series' first appearance on both Wii and PS3, which makes it definitely worth noting for owners of those two consoles.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
