In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.

Example input: plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !

Example explanation: The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").
Q: everyone knows someone like giles de'ath : stuffy , arrogant , set in his ways , and at war with anything that could in any way be associated with " progress .
"
giles is a writer , but the product of his typewriter is the kind of scholarly stuff that is immediately put onto library stacks where it can gather dust until some graduate student needs another reference for his or her thesis .
his house looks like an immaculate museum ?
with no television , microwave , word processor , or other technological gadgets , only the electric lights betray that he 's living in the twentieth century , not the nineteenth .
this is the kind of role that could easily be turned into a flat stereotype , but john hurt , in what is certainly his best performance in a decade and possibly the most impressive of his long and distinguished career , turns " erstwhile fogy " giles into a three - dimensional human being .
despite his tunnel vision , it 's impossible not to like the man , especially after his entire being is transformed by that singular affliction to which no one is immune : love .
and , as giles discovers during the course of this amusing , warm - hearted motion picture , it 's possible to find the object of one 's affection in the most unusual places .
giles , who is a widower and a recluse , does not frequent the cinema , but when he learns that an e . m . forster film is playing at the local theater , he screws up his courage and decides to go .
what he does n't realize is that the movie house is showing two films : the forster adaptation and a teen exploitation flick called hotpants college ii .
a nonplused giles ends up sitting in a darkened room watching buff male and female bodies in various states of undress .
just as giles is about to leave , however , he notices ronnie bostock ( jason priestley ) , and , suddenly , it 's love at first sight .
giles is enraptured , and the moment hotpants college ii is over , he beings to scour stores for bostock memorabilia , including teen magazines and video tapes .
( in order to watch those tapes , giles must buy a vcr , but he initially does n't realize that he needs a tv to use the vcr . )
eventually , not satisfied with being the world 's foremost authority on bostock , giles boards a plane and travels to long island , where his idol 's home is located .
bostock is away when giles arrives , but the wily englishman manages to befriend ronnie 's supermodel girlfriend , audrey ( fiona loewi ) .
eventually , the actor arrives home and , impressed with giles ' demeanor and intelligence , he begins to rely on the older man 's advice .
but , while giles ' affection runs deep , ronnie 's feelings are less constant .
love and death on long island is a comedy , and a very funny one at that .
in fact , for its first half , the film is nearly - perfect .
it suffers a fall - off once giles reaches new york , and the ending , with its none - too - subtle homosexual overtones , is a little too overbearing for the lighthearted material that precedes it .
in his gently satirical approach to popular culture and movie stardom , writer / director richard kwietniowski , adapting from the novel by gilbert adair , is 100 % on- target .
in the process , he not only creates a truly likable and memorable character in giles , but says a few things about the transforming power of love , even if it is unrequited .
from start to finish , this is clearly hurt 's movie ?
he 's in almost every frame .
it 's a role that the veteran actor must have relished , because he makes giles an unforgettable motion picture figure , and does so by means of dialogue delivery , body language , and ever - changing facial expressions .
jason priestley , cashing in on his beverly hills 90210 image , is surprisingly effective as the shallow ronnie .
he is charismatic , and it 's not hard to understand why giles is attracted to ronnie .
meanwhile , solid support is provided by the appealing fiona loewi and the always - reliable maury chaykin .
love and death on long island is many things wrapped into one : a social commentary ( it tackles the thorny issue of film as pure art versus film as mindless entertainment ) , a buddy picture / love story ( ronnie and giles have one of the most interesting relationships found anywhere on a movie screen these days ) , and a " fish out of water " tale ( victorian relic giles forced into the modern world ) .
yet , despite the many laughs love and death offers ,
it never takes cheap shots .
it has a vibrant , beating heart ? and that makes the comedy all the more worthwhile .
