Review: a coming-of-age film that avoids the cartoonish clichés and sneering humor of the genre as it provides a fresh view of an old type -- the uncertain girl on the brink of womanhood . 
Sentiment: positive

Review: little action , almost no suspense or believable tension , one-dimensional characters up the wazoo and sets that can only be described as sci-fi generic . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: the movie starts with a legend and ends with a story that is so far-fetched it would be impossible to believe if it were n't true . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: ` the country bears ' should never have been brought out of hibernation 
Sentiment: negative


Review: 's spiffing up leftovers that are n't so substantial or fresh
