I give it THREE strong STARS* at my scale.
Additional comments:
I will not comment on budget nor on likes and dislikes. Leaving the house after the movie I felt lighthearted with aftertaste of human nature irony.
* ---
I suggest an independent approach to rating a movie that I use myself and as it proved to be helpful to my friends. This approach does not reflect any specific quality, like playing of actors or camera work or director or script or even budget. Instead, it ranges the work as a whole indicating its consumer value and time-provedness. The rating can be easily applied to other entertainment articles like music CDs, books or performances thus making the method universal and simple for both using and understanding. It ranges from one to ten stars according to the statements:
1*......... - I started watching but quit before the end. (I left the house)
2**........ - I could hardly sit out till the end.
3***....... - I saw it once. (It's worth watching once)
4****...... - I saw it and would recommend it to my friends. (It's a discovery!)
5*****..... - I would watch it again and could join a company. (Next time I can invite my friends).
6******.... - I can go and watch it many times. (I must check if they sell it?)
7*******... - I saw it and am about to buy a copy. (Happy to have it on my shelf)
8********.. - I saw it and bought it, I enjoy re-watching selected episodes.
9*********. - I saw and bought it - it comes as a source of citations.
10********** - I saw and bought it, the source of all time enjoyment, my favorite. (Next generation will appreciate it like in 10 or 20 years as well)
