The Popcorn Ratings are given in three categories:
Romance: Was the story about the romance, did all the complications result from or hamper the romance, was the climax of the story the lovers’ commitment to each other? Did the romance ring true? Was the commitment at the end satisfying and believable?
Comedy: Was it funny, truly funny, laugh-out-loud funny?
Technical: Was the story well-constructed, the characters drawn carefully, the filming and editing done well?
Our ratings will be given using the kernal system:
