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 32 comments (29 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) β 6 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 6 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.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews β the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
βPleasant, harmless PG-13 entertainment, with a plot a little more surprising and acting a little better than I expected.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 75
βThough there's nothing revolutionary about 17 Again, the movie is undeniably enjoyable.β
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald Β· 75
βWhile the movie feels shelf-worn, Efron's performance is fresh.β
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer Β· 75
βDirector Burr Steers (Igby Goes Down) doesn't always have a firm handle on what is and isn't appropriate; the film makes a few sharp detours into misogyny, and the level of smuttiness is surprisingly high, which may be a function of Efron wanting to grow away from his core audience too fast.β
Scott Tobias, The A.V. Club Β· 75
βOften silly but it's an honest, unselfconscious exploration of the conflict between a man's physical and psychological age.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.

βIt's a classic transformation story. Are you now or have you ever been a Norse God, Vampire, or Time Traveling Cyborg? Another in what is a long line of body swap comedies, 17 Again is fun, frothy and full of warmth; just like all the other ones really! There's nothing new here, it's the same old format as a grown up Mike O'Donnell (Matthew Perry) rues how his life has grown to miserable proportions but magically gets to be a high-schooler again and grasp that second chance. Back in his 17 yeβ
