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 74 comments (64 from Reddit, 8 from Metacritic, 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.

βWhether Carrey's fans will like it or not, the film is easily his best crafted piece of work to date. [14 June 1996, p.22]β

βLou Holtz Jr.'s script is a clever, half-serious indictment of television.β

βTo watch Carrey leering with joy at the prospect of making respectable people guess dirty words, and Broderick trying to avoid the whole thing, is to enjoy their best comic synergy.β
Desson Thomson, Washington Post Β· 75
βThe director, who intermittently shows up on Stevenβs television as Stan and Sam Sweet, a hybrid of O.J. Simpson and the Menendez brothers, shoots all of this with verve and fluidity to spare, though he succeeds most commendably in framing and editing his starβs physical antics.β

βNever mind that it doesn't always work or that the film's two halves never quite mesh. The Cable Guy essentially is a genie escaped from a bottle, except that the bottle is a TV screen. [14 June 1996, p.59]β

βThis is one of the most tonally inconsistent movies I've ever seen. Is it a drama? a comedy? a thriller with some horror elements in it? Something inbetween all that, although I'm not even sure, if Chip, The Cable Guy, is even a human or a superhuman being of some sort. I have no idea what to take away from this movie, should I not trust my cable guy? Should I not trust strangers in general? I don't know, but I'll definitely not go through the effort and find it out. If you're a fan of Jim Carreβ

βThis just might be the most underrated movie ever! Don't get me wrong, it has its flaws but as a kid I heard nothing but negativity surrounding this movie when it came out but watching it from start to finish as an adult is highly recommend it!β

βDark slice of comedy pie from Carrey & Stiller. As with everything in life, the internet also has its good and bad angles. Here with The Cable Guy, I myself salute the internet highway and in particular the many users of IMDb who have come forth to support this most divisive of movies. Lambasted on release by regarded critics and chided by many a cinema goer who went in expecting Mask & Ace Ventura like fluff, The Cable Guy was thought to be the death knell for Carrey's career. It wasn't of cβ
