Ok, understood. But who here has called the review a rave. I think it's a mixed review but A mixed review that elicits in me, excitement. I can't find where people are calling it a rave. Several people seem to think it reads as a positive endorsement as something to see, for whatever reasons ( maybe the star, maybe the production). For others, it does not read that way. Just not seeing where the blind enthusiasm to a rave enters into this. You were originally responding to someone who thought this a lousy review and then ( what sounded to me like some disingenuous nonsense) hoping they were wrong. Disingenuous, because I find it hard to believe that anyone without some agenda truly thinks this would qualify as a "lousy" review.

But, you are referring to reactions to Brantley as a rave. that's fine. Maybe I missed a thread or something.

You are correct no one called it an overall rave, so let's pretend I wrote "positive endorsement of the show" wherever I said "rave." So what I am saying is there is, among some, a blindness to the thrust of the review, however it is labelled.

As I said before, it's a "kind" review, focusing on the STAR performance.

Other than that, I don't think it's a very good review.

And, believe it or not, I was hoping it would get a RAVE from him.

No you don't. You simply do not say that. In your heading you say that what you think the review is, is lousy.

Then, in your post you describe the CRITIC as being kind in describing what you thinks is a LOUSY review.

Fine. You had a choice... and you made a choice ...and you chose a word...and the word you chose... was LOUSY.

Then you start this "Hope I am wrong" ...."hoping for a RAVE" stuff?

So, " believe it or not" ? ...Ok, I don't believe it.

Now, moving right along....
