Does your scale go up to five stars? 'Cuz I think the missuz and I would give it at least four and a half.

Marty: Why don't you just make four louder and make four be the top number and make that a little louder?

CMOM: (beat) These go to five.

(sorry)

Ashley, you have no idea that CMOM is the perfect guy to lay a Spinal Tap reference on.

So yeah, it goes to 5 stars, and if we'd seen this in the theater it would probably get 4.5 -- I mean those tracking shots alone are worth half a star. Small screen, though, it only had 4 stars worth of oomph.

"Nigel" Molanphy: Well, it's...one better, isn't it? It's not four. You see, most blokes, you know, will be grading a movie at four. You're on four here -- all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on four on your DVD player. Where can you go from there? Where?

Ashley: I don't know.

"Nigel": [self-satisfied smile] Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Ashley:: Put it up to five stars.

"Nigel": Five. Exactly. One better.
