xx Rating: 2 out of Fordyce
An average show. Not bad, but nothing to write home to mother
about. If your favorite star is in the movie or your brother is
in the play and you have nothing else to do. Go see it.

x Rating: 1 out of Fordyce
A waste of good film, tape, or air space. You will wonder why you
just wasted part of our life watching it. Your time would be better
spent watching the semi's unload at your favorite discount retailer.

Rating: NO-dyce
The worst of the worst. So awful you should thank Jim for
putting himself through the pain of seeing it so you could be warned
before you took out your wallet and bought a ticket.
