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 29 comments (28 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 3 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 3 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.

βstarts off pretty strongly, with Tim Allen (Scott) showing off some quick and amusing wit. The early moments are actually the best parts in my opinionβ

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βThis is a hip, likable spin on the seasonal icon told with a deft mixture of comedy and sentimentality.β

βNevertheless, The Santa Clause is a charming, if mild, fantasy, distinguished by a gentle directorial touch that strikes a deft balance between dramatic and fantastic elements.β

βAll of the film's technical and creative contributions are top-notch, but as it should be, it's the people who win us over. [11 Nov 1994 Pg. F10]β

βAimed at kids, but written with parents in mind, The Santa Clause balances the sugar with the spice, which Allen sprinkles on just right.β
Rita Kempley, Washington Post Β· 80
βThe personable star of the TV series "Home Improvement" turns this Walt Disney film around. He may not be as effervescent as, say, Robin Williams, but he's full of understated, ticklish charm.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

βA lovely heart-warming story about a father and his son coming together and becoming closer. (Sound like a storyline I'd like?) Obviously a win for me.β

βThis movie is mediocre, it tries to be too hip with the kids, and the fact that it is lackluster.β
