Big Opening Weekend Plot has mostly clear beginning, middle, and end. Dramatic structure is generally followed, but wanders in places. Climax of story is clear.	Indy Buzz Plot is difficult to follow, and lacks either a clear beginning, middle, or end. Dramatic structure is only somewhat followed, and actions seem random.	Rotten Tomato What plot? This is a collection of random actions with nothing tying them together.	Director Notes

Big Opening Weekend Most characters are as thoroughly fleshed-out as the story requires. Main characters are clear, but their roles in the story may not be.

No real character development to speak of.	Director Notes
