That’s an excellent question, and I’m going to give you a completely honest answer: My star ratings are, to some degree, arbitrary and should only be used to get a quick, thumbnail idea of my impression of a film (2 = fair, 3 = good, 3.5 = something special, etc.). I’m kind of stingy with handing out 4-star ratings, simply because I want it to mean something when I do. Four stars means that I not only think a movie is excellent, but also that I’ve fallen in love with it. I really enjoyed BRIDESMAIDS and will happily talk it up while it’s in theaters, but WIN WIN…well, I’ll still be talking that one up in December.
