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 !

Q: in one scene from " the people vs .
larry flynt ,
" the hustler magazine publisher appears at a self - staged free speech rally .
as graphic photos flash on a huge screen behind him , flynt strides confidently across the stage , delivering a rousing speech over what really constitutes obscenity .
the spectacle was reminiscent of the scene in " patton " where the general spoke in front of a giant american flag .
both scenes were stirring , larger than life , richly entertaining , and felt totally like contrived set pieces for big hollywood movies .
overall , that sums up " the people vs .
larry flynt .
"
the film is a wildly entertaining hoot which , despite being based on fact , feels like a big , phony hollywood movie .
the son of a kentucky moonshiner , flynt ( woody harrelson ) ran away from home and ended up operating strip clubs in cincinnati .
there he met althea leasure ( courtney love ) , a bisexual stripper who became his fourth wife and the love of his life .
to bolster interest in his clubs , he started a sexually explicit newsletter that grew into hustler magazine .
flynt , along with the magazine 's rag - tag management team , headed by his brother jimmy ( played nicely by woody 's real - life brother , steak & shake commercial veteran brett harrelson ) , viewed playboy magazine with contempt .
they mocked its slick articles and airbrushed photos , striving to keep hustler focused on " what guys really want , " explicit photos that would make a gynecologist squirm , and extremely crude humor .
the film 's prime example of hustler 's attitude is a cartoon depicting characters from the wizard of oz in an orgy , giving the audience an opportunity to giggle at flynt 's " naughtiness .
" director milos forman conveniently ignores the magazine 's frequent attempts to derive humor from child molestation , racism , and endless scatological cartoons .
flynt 's rag labored in well - deserved obscurity until he published nude photos of jacqueline onassis , which brought the magazine international attention , big money and the attention of conservatives .
an obscenity bust followed , the first in a long series of battles between flynt and the law .
lawyer alan isaacman ( edward norton ) enters the scene , hired by flynt 's wife .
norton ,
an exceptional actor , is wonderful as the beleaguered lawyer trying to navigate the legal system while dealing with flynt 's increasingly childish and bizarre behavior .
in court , we meet the sputtering conservatives , headed by citizens for decency leader charles keating ( james cromwell . )
as keating blathers about flynt 's immorality , the camera slowly moves in for a close - up of his name tag , inviting the audience to gloat at the notion of morality being trumpeted by keating , who was later convicted in a $ 2 billion s&l fraud .
flynt 's other prime foe is rev .
jerry falwell , who sues over a hustler parody involving him and his mother having sex in an outhouse .
tragedy strikes as flynt is shot by a would - be assassin , leaving him paralyzed from the waist down .
a dark period follows , as flynt and leasure hole up in an l .
a . suite , strung out on pain killers .
flynt eventually kicks drugs , but leasure succumbs to addiction , and later , aids .
after watch falwell on tv , describing aids as a punishment from god , flynt directs his lawyer to take the falwell case to the supreme court , leading to the film 's climactic courtroom scene .
"
the people vs , larry flynt " is at its weakest when moralizing on free speech and lionizing flynt .
"
if they 'll protect a scumbag like me , then they 'll protect all of you , " declared flynt .
he 's right , of course , but the director forman cheats in portraying the opposition as little more than hypocritical buffoons .
he also cheats in casting woody harrelson as flynt .
harrelson is an attractive , charismatic man , and his strong performance paints flynt as a colorful folk hero .
even a cursory look at the real flynt , who is making the talk show circuit , and plays the judge in an early courtroom scene , shows a bloated , morose and bitter man .
an accurate portrayal of flynt would have made a more difficult film to watch , but a richer one . despite its flaws , " flynt " is a fast moving , rousing movie with some terrific acting , especially by courtney love , whose vibrant performance will likely garner an oscar nod
.
the story may be candy - coated , but it 's still delicious candy .
