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.
Answer: POS
Explanation: 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'.
Part 3. Exercise
Melvin should have another serving of paste . Directors, actors, and all others associated with the film industry make a real effort to be cerebral. It's understandable, as it's a worthy goal. 99.5% of them fail - perhaps it's a lack of education, maybe it's poor upbringing that has reinforced self-absorption, and it could be that the superficiality which makes them such a good fit in Hollywood directly leads to this end. The only redeeming quality of the film is that it exposes human foibles (and this is not a new concept - it's typically an element of every movie). It seems that movies these days fall on either end of two extremes: telling stories of people who unrealistically do the right thing, or blathering of shallow morons who are poor subjects of empathy. This falls into the latter category. I want that hour and a half of my life back for a more worthy endeavor such as playing target practice into a trash can with a staple gun.

NEG
