[!] [!] [!] [!] [!] – Stellar
[!] [!] [!] [!] [!] [!] Classic
*****************************[DETAILS]*****************************
^Subpar: A production that has little going in its favor.
^Rental: A production that has positive points, but is ultimately not worth owning.
^Average: A production that does many things well, but little stands out as spectacular.
^Solid: A production that has a strong core, but could use further embellishment.
^Stellar: An exceptional production that pulls you in, but is just short of perfect.
^Classic: An exceptional production that sets itself apart, consistently evoking a strong emotional response, and keeping one’s attention long after the experience is over.
*In addition to the above, there are two other features for AGO! Reviews:
^”Pete says”: This is the final word on the title reviewed, cutting through the pros and cons to the straight dirt.
