This movie is a documentary about librarianship, and I would've really enjoyed it if not for the misleading title. I was expecting, as the title claimed, loads of clips of movie/TV librarians, perhaps interspersed with commentary about the stereotypes of the characters. Instead, I got an informational look at real librarians (well, it would've been informational for someone not in the field) and the challenges they face, interspersed with often-unrelated clips from movies.

The content was interesting, but the film seemed to have no direction, no organization (how ironic!). I guess the point of the movie was to show what librarians actually do, as opposed to the media view of librarians. It would be good for a potential library school student who wants to know what the field is all about. For me, however, I was disappointed that they didn't focus more on the movies.

Plus, they didn't even mention my two favorite fictional librarians, Giles (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Forney (from Where the Heart Is).
