Capsule review


A capsule review or mini review is a form of appraisal, usually associated with journalism, that offers a relatively short critique of a specified creative work. Capsule reviews generally appear in publications like newspapers and magazines, and may be placed within the context of a cultural digest section of a publication.
Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide is a well known publication that includes thousands of capsule movie reviews by prolific film writer Leonard Maltin, including the world's shortest capsule review according to the Guinness Book of World Records, a 2 out of 4 star review of the 1948 musical Isn't It Romantic? that consisted of only the word "no".
