how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 50 comments (48 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 11 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 11 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βToo long at just under two hours length, the makers appear to have dropped Melissa McCarthy in the middle of a film, built a load of questionable on going gags around her, and then thrown Jason Bateman in for the charm offensive. Then as the film runs out of steam at the mid-point, it gets caught in a vortex of contrivances and pseudo serious statements.β

βThe film's insistence on trying to make you well up with emotion over an incredibly unrealistic story is however, embarrassing.β

βThe movie does hit some dull parts when it focuses on emotional moments or serious moments involving violence from people chasing the main charactersβ

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βMelissa McCarthy is riveting in simply-penned moments of remorse and confession, adding tearful depth to her ace timing and formidable physical comedy.β

βThe fault, I think, isn't in our stars but in the script, running up a huge comedy tab the likable players can't pay off.β
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly Β· 67
βThe dialogue in Craig Mazinβs script crackles at its best, and the supporting characters (led by Robert Patrick as a grizzled skip chaser) have bizarrely funny moments.β

βIn some ways, Identity Thief is a raunchier variation on another recent odd-couple road pic: Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen as overbearing mom and nebbish son in "The Guilt Trip."β
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer Β· 63
βPreposterous, goofy and a clear ripoff of βPlanes, Trains and Automobiles,β Identity still manages to make off with just enough laughs to work, thanks to the wondrous McCarthy, one of the few actresses in Hollywood allowed to showcase her wit and charisma as much as her physique.β

βGood watch, probably won't watch again, and can recommend. This actually reminds me a lot of "Bounty Hunter", but with distinct elements of "Guest House" and "The Hustle". It's honestly disturbing to me to see the anatomy of a sociopath laid out in a movie like this, but it does thoroughly example both what it is like to have your identity stolen and the kind of monsters that do that sort of thing. Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy are both top notch comedic actors, but some of the sceβ
