This sentence is from Michael Swan's "Practical English Usage". It's about the difference between "it" and "this".
1. "I enjoyed Vampires' Picnic. It/this is a film for all the family."
2. "VAMPIRES PICNIC: This is a film for all the family." Using "it" is wrong in the second sentence, because "this" is preferred when we bring things into focus" according to the book. But is using "that" wrong in both sentences?
