Yes, you need to create the slug in your save() method. Something
like:
class Review(models.Model):
...
def save(self):
# add slug if there isn't one already
if not self.slug:
from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify
self.slug = slugify(self.title)
super(Review, self).save()
Note that this will not guarantee unique slugs. If you want your slugs
to be unique, here is a helpful article:
