how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — 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 47 comments (46 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) — 7 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 7 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.

“After the first 25 minutes or so you’ll find yourself engrossed in Paul’s life; you understand him and like him. You feel for the man as he gazes longingly at a receipt with the handwritten name of his romantic interest. And you’ll root for him and lau”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“Has a few surprises in store. The biggest is James, an unexpectedly nimble master of the face-plant, the failed jump, and the lopsided tumble.”
Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly · 75
“It's as slam-bang preposterous as any R-rated comedy you can name. It's just that Paul Blart and the film's other characters don't feel the need to use the f-word as the building block of every sentence.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 75
“Although Paul Blart is by no means great cinema, there is amusement to be uncovered as we watch Kevin James bumble his way through actions oh-so-similar to those navigated with more blood, sweat, profanity, and dead bodies than Willis. Too bad there's no "Yippekayay...."”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 63
“It's fine for kids, though, and it doesn't try too hard.”
Kyle Smith, New York Post · 63
“Hardly promising but, thanks to James' winningly gung-ho underdog and the fat-man grace he brings to a pratfall, unexpectedly watchable.”
Simon Braund, Empire · 60

it plays better than it reviews — critics 37, the watch 54
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.
