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 51 comments (50 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 17 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 17 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.

βman is it overly long. They could've made the exact same point but with 30-40 minutes worth of fat cut out. I didn't care enough about the characters to see them for as long as I did, in short. As alluded to, the onscreen talent do keep it bubbling along at a minimal level and, also, the music is very good. It just didn't need to be so dragged out, in my opinion.β

βThe last 40 minutes, Apatow brings back his old ways of comedy and has some of the funniest scenes since The 40 year old Virginβ

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays β admired more than it is enjoyed.
βThis Is 40 isn't always hilarious, but it's ticklishly honest and droll about all the things being a parent can do to a relationship. And why it's still worth it.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 91
βA few broadly comic moments aside, This Is 40 also captures the rhythms and concerns of real life in ways that slicker Hollywood comedies don't.β
Noel Murray, The A.V. Club Β· 83
βJudd Apatow's instincts have rarely been sharper, wiser or more relatable than in This Is 40, an acutely perceptive, emotionally generous laffer about the joys and frustrations of marriage and middle age.β
Justin Chang, Variety Β· 80
βWe aren't used to comedies that make us squirm like this. That doesn't mean they aren't worth our time. This Is 40 is.β
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic Β· 80
βApatow's return creates a pleasantly sprawling, perceptive study of mid-life angst that never lacks for laughs. Promoting Rudd and Mann from Knocked Up's margins to centre stage proves to be a shrewd move.β
Matt Mueller, Total Film Β· 80

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.
