Teacher: In this task, you are given product reviews about dvds. The goal is to classify the review as "POS" if the overall sentiment of the review is positive(the reviewer is satisfied) or as "NEG" if the overall sentiment of the review is negative(the reviewer is not satisfied).
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
My Kids Love It . My 2 & 3 year old love this movie. They love to dance to the music. Garfield is so entertaining. This was a great buy.
Solution: POS
Reason: The overall sentiment of the review is positive as the reviewer refers to the dvd with positive expressions such as 'love it', 'entertaining', 'great' etc. Hence, the label is 'POS'.

Now, solve this instance: Awful! . I was astounded that a major studio/star cast could make such a worthless film. The plot is as old as the hills: innocent man wrongfully convicted of murder awaits excecution on death row - innocent man is saved at the last minute by the good guy(s). This movie gives you cheating wives, cheating husbands, irresponsible fathers, paper thin plot, superficial characters, and boring dialog. I totally lost my respect for Clint Eastwood after viewing this - and "Unforgiven" is one of my all time favorite films! How can a person be so inconsistent? (I think I know the answer; it's called "a slump."
