Given the task definition, example input & output, solve the new input case.
In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.
Example: 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 !

The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").

New input case for you: written by john grisham and robert altman ( as al hayes ) directed by robert altman some time ago , a young director was given the opportunity to direct the screen version of a popular novel .
the novel was a summer smash , topping best - seller lists across the country and already drawing speculation as to which popular actors of the day might play the leads .
the only problem : the novel was n't very good .
it was far more pulp than pulitzer .
but the director realized that , no matter how pedestrian the prose , this book really grabbed people - that the author , while not a great writer , was a fantastic storyteller .
so he took on the project , convinced he could make something happen on screen .
the director ?
francis ford coppola .
the book , of course , was mario puzo 's the godfather .
the rest , as they say in showbiz , was history .
by bringing up the godfather , i do n't mean to suggest that robert altman 's the gingerbread man is destined for that level of greatness .
but the parallel does suggest that it is possible to create great cinema from questionable source material .
can you get any more questionable than john grisham ?
depends on whom you ask .
but there 's no question that grisham 's work grabs people .
like puzo , grisham is a better storyteller than a writer - unlike fellow hack michael crichton , who is a good idea man but who ca n't tell a well - constructed story from a can of spam .
so something in grisham 's unpublished story of a cocky savannah lawyer who gets involved in a deadly family squabble drew the attention of robert altman , who at 73 years old remains one of america 's greatest living filmmakers .
the result is a gripping thriller that , while falling short of classic cinema , deserves its place in the altman canon .
> from its opening shot to the closing credits , the gingerbread man is permeated with a sense of dread , with a fear of the natural destructive forces of the universe .
this terrific sense of mood is a classic altman touch .
witness said opening shot : we see an aerial view of coastal georgia with its writhing , undulating landscape while the soundtrack grumbles ominously in our ear .
we roll over the hills into the town of savannah , then zoom in close on a red sports car speeding over a bridge while its driver chatters oblivious on his cell phone .
right away we know that the driver of that car is in for a few surprises .
pay attention , boys and girls - this shot was not conceived by john grisham , but by altman .
this is what a great director can do for questionable source material .
the sports car belongs to rick magruder ( kenneth branagh ) , the aforementioned hotshot attorney who specializes in police brutality cases .
magruder has just won a high profile case and celebrates that night with a catered party at his office .
outside after the party he meets one of the waitresses , mallory doss ( embeth davidzt ) , just as she realizes her car has been stolen .
driven by southern chivalry , a driving rainstorm and his unspoken attraction to the fragile waitress , magruder offers her a ride home .
there he learns more about mallory 's life than he bargained for .
her car was stolen by her schizophrenic father dixon ( robert duvall ) , a ted kyzynski - style whacko who has been stalking and terrorizing his own daughter .
magruder , perhaps influenced by mallory 's decision to strip off her wet clothes in front of him , is sympathetic to her plight , and offers to help her get her father committed
- right after he sleeps with her , of course .
this simple offer of help leads magruder down a dangerous path with a black end .
he succeeds in having dixon incarcerated in a mental hospital , and for a moment all appears well .
but then dixon 's crack team of homeless commandos bust him out of the lockup - and suddenly magruder finds himself , mallory and his own children in danger .
the cops wo n't lift a finger to help a liberal attorney .
his only allies are his faithful assistant lois ( daryl hannah ) and his bumbling private - eye sidekick clyde ( robert downey jr ) .
if this predicament was n't bad enough , hurricane geraldo is bearing down on savannah and throwing the world into chaos .
altman may provide the atmosphere , but branagh 's performance holds the gingerbread man together .
an accomplished actor when he is n't directing himself in vanity productions , branagh does a fine job of making rick a sympathetic hero while casting doubt upon his motives .
is his offer of help to mallory an act of kindness , or of egotism ?
magruder is so sure of his place in the world that he never considers that he has bitten off more than he can chew until he has to swallow it - and by then it 's too late .
as the plot unfolds , magruder learns that none of us are as secure as we think we are .
and life is never so bad that it ca n't get worse . if you 're familiar with altman 's work , you 'll recognize several of his signature techniques .
characters are not introduced in establishing shots , but rather are allowed to wander in the background of scenes until their importance becomes apparent .
crucial scenes are shot from the outside through windows , making the audience unwitting voyeurs of the action .
dialog overlaps and the actors seem to slip naturally into an improvisational style .
and of course there 's
my favorite altman technique - the obligatory nude actress shot .
thanks to altman , here are some of the actresses i 've had the pleasure of seeing naked : sally kellerman , julianne moore , madeline stowe , even frances mcdormand .
and now i can add embeth davidtz , who looks quite healthy in the altogether .
the naked actress shot has become as ubiquitous to the altman film as the director cameo was to the hitchcock film .
is it old - school sexism , or a clever in - joke ?
you be the judge .
but back to the picture at hand .
in the hands of a mere mortal , the gingerbread man would have been a routine thriller , no better or worse than the countless others we 've all endured .
in the hands of a master
like altman , it becomes an exercise in existential doom , in its own way far more successful than scorsese 's cape fear remake , which tried for the same result .
what may prevent it from enduring with altman 's greatest work is a weak third act - in fact , there really is no third act in grisham 's story , so it appears that altman had to throw in the hurricane just to jazz things up .
but there are true moments of riveting suspense , and great performances by branagh , davidzt and downey jr - more than enough to see you through .
that polygram so hated this picture that they tried to steal final cut from altman , and then buried the marketing campaign when he won it back , should tell you how utterly clueless of quality most studios are .
they probably wanted it to look more like a time to kill .
and that , my friends , should make you very afraid .
