SMALLFOOT Review

Creating a family film, nowadays, is a complicated feat. Kids are much more technologically savvy and there are worlds of creative content just a smartphone away, and usually for free.

In only a year, James Corden has made The Late Late Show on CBS one of the most viral sensations in late night.
