| Celebrity photographer Connor Mead (MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY) loves freedom, fun and women...in that order. A committed bachelor with a no-strings policy, he thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple women on a conference call while prepping his next date. Connor's brother Paul is more the romantic type. In fact, he's about to be married. Unfortunately, on the eve of the big event, Connor's mockery of romance proves a real buzz-kill for Paul, the wedding party and a houseful of well wishers -- including Connor's childhood friend Jenny (JENNIFER GARNER), the one woman in his life who has always seemed immune to his considerable charm. Just when it looks like Connor may single-handedly ruin the wedding, he gets a wake-up call from the ghost of his late Uncle Wayne (MICHAEL DOUGLAS), the hard-partying, legendary ladies man upon whose exploits Connor has modeled his lifestyle. Uncle Wayne has an urgent message for his protege, which he delivers through the ghosts of Connor's jilted girlfriends -- past, present and future -- who take him on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through a lifetime of failed relationships. Together, they will discover what turned Connor into such a shameless player and whether he has a second chance to find -- and this time, keep -- the love of his life. | |
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.
