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 46 comments (28 from Metacritic, 16 from Reddit, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 13 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 13 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.

βthe film keeps that tension going almost the entire time, it rarely slows down, which keeps things engaging and consistently funny.β

βA flat-out hilarious mainstream comedy.β
Todd McCarthy, Variety Β· 90
βThis buoyant, giddy comedy of catastrophe is the funniest film of the year so far, possibly the most amusing mainstream live-action comedy since "There's Something About Mary."β
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Β· 90
βDe Niro and Stiller combine to bring on laughs you don't have to feel guilty about.β
Chris Kaltenbach, Baltimore Sun Β· 88
βIt's a bouncy, loose limbed, ''families do the darnedest things'' sitcom that elicits ungrudging laughs.β
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly Β· 83
βIt's funny. Really funny.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.

βAlongside The Village, one of the great "autumn atmosphere" movies, although rarely discussed as such. Beautiful locations/ambience throughout, whether on the road or at the house or in the yard. Spielberg was attached to direct this at one point. Jim Carrey was going to star as Greg, and Carrey is actually the one who first pitched the "Focker" surname. I'll always be curious about that hypothetical version of the project, but I still find this film oddly comforting.β

βthe resolution doesn't quite stick the landing, the way everything wraps up feels a bit rushed and less satisfying than it could've been, it's like the film spends so much time building the tension, then resolves it a little too quicklyβ
