| What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Class of 1989, Mike O'Donnell (Zac Efron) is a star on the high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlet and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later, Mike's (Matthew Perry) glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlet (Leslie Mann) has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned (Thomas Lennon). But Mike is given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool among the class of 2009. And in trying to recapture his best years, Mike could lose the best things that ever happened to him. | |
How is the Flicketz FanScore® calculated?
Hey, we can’t give away all of our secrets! What we can tell you, though, is that Flicketz does the hard work for you, the Fan. We scope out a lot of national and local critic reviews, look at actual box office results, and, of course, pay attention to the ratings of you and other opinionated moviegoers. Then, we take all of these elements, throw them into our secret formula and voilà: out comes the Flicketz FanScore rating, from 0 to 100 on a universal scale.
Which movies are included?
All movies currently playing in theaters are eligible to be included in FanScore®, even if they are not yet playing in your city. We try to get FanScore ratings for ALL movies, but there may be a few that are not included because there is not yet enough information to accurately calculate a FanScore rating.
When is a movie no longer eligible to be in the FanScore® Top Ten List?
A movie is removed from the FanScore Top Ten list once it’s lost most of its momentum in theaters. For some movies, this may take many weeks, and for others it may be almost immediately. (No, we’re not naming names...) Regardless, a movie will keep its FanScore rating and remain in the Flicketz database for life.
Why does the FanScore® Rating for a movie sometimes change from week to week?
The short answer is: people are finicky. There’s just no loyalty these days... Seriously, the FanScore rating for each movie is dynamic and does tend to adjust in the first several weeks of release, for better or worse. This is because critics’ reviews and moviegoers’ opinions may vary as more people see a movie, and factors such as how well a movie holds its performance from week to week also go into the calculation of the Box Office piece of the FanScore rating.
Two Movies have the same FanScore® rating but one is ranked higher. What's up with that?
Good question. You're paying attention. Our super-secret formula calculates values out to four decimals, but we show each FanScore rating to you as a rounded whole number. Multiple movies may appear to have the same FanScore rating although one is actually higher than the other; and, therefore, ranks higher.
