how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — 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 21 comments (19 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) — 1 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 1 comment. 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 — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“An animated family movie about penguins -- in the wake of "March of the Happy Feet," they're the Angelina Jolie of animals, both cute and admired everywhere. Plus, it's about surfing.”
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly · 83
“Best of all is Jeff Bridges as the voice of Geek, a laid-back philosopher-penguin who becomes Cody's low-key guru, mentoring him in the ways of the wave.”
Chris Kaltenbach, Baltimore Sun · 83
“Has its own peculiar, loose-knit kind of charm.”
Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer · 75
“A cut above the noisy, pop-culture joke-larded norm, and it's much more than a "Happy Feet" knockoff.”
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide Magazine · 75
“Surf's Up is that rarity in a children's movie, a comedy that's actually exciting.”
Liam Lacey, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) · 75

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.

It's a film that brings lightness and fun, perfect for all ages. But i don't recommend it for children, because it has double meaning lines”

“Doesn't quite live up to it's potential. I agree with the 60 ish % rating. This is a really cool an fun idea. But the final product underwhelms a little bit. I'm saying this with love. This could have been great! This could have been a classic! A few more instances of genuane emotional moments. That would be needed.
