Notebook movie review: what critics say (8)
What critics say Critics are divided: 0 of 8 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 2 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the music.
Pranutan is expressionless and Zaheer’s got big eyes — there’s a scene where they grow so big, I feared they might fall off. But that’s about it.What doesn’t is the photography.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
