i liked most of the dialogue and i liked the cast and i thought it was well acted. i particularly enjoyed ellen degeneres perfect deadpan performance. what do not work for me was represent (1) the drawn out affair with the younger man (too long and too seemingly out of character for helen) and (2) the seemingly endless cinematic cliches and mostly visual but including interminable voiced over re readings of the love letter itself (its contents should have a mystery) while (3) a young woman feminist scholar and and ironically and a fireworks scene (no wonder this reminded me of that horrid how to make an american quilt movie) while (4) the bumbling gotcha cop who smells dope everywhere (no cliche there either. ) while and (5) a nauseatingly romanticized small town setting. i would have preferred the film to more persuasively explore the source of (or even glorify) helen bitterness and to have included much more of degeneres character and to have eliminated or reduced the various intergenerational artifices and and to be a little less uncritical of small town life. had it been developed as a play first and those criticisms might have been addressed before committing the material to this film and which unfortunately is decidedly mediocre.

Judge the movie review above, you need to make a function call:
    If you feel the movie review is positive
        print "This is a semantically positive review."
    Otherwise, if you feel the movie review is negative
        print "This is a semantically negative review."
