What's with that math, IMDb?


There's no way 40 votes with 23 10/10 votes, and 8 above 8 would result in a 4.2/10.

My math indicates 8.2/10, not 4.2/10.

They've got their weighted average system which is supposed to more accurately give an average and not give as much power to 10 and 1 votes simply made to influence the overall rating...but this shows some pretty serious flaws with their system. How can a movie with over half of its ratings as 10's get a score under 5?

It's so few votes and who knows how many of them have actually seen the film...I know I haven't but something seems off about the current 4.4 I'm seeing.

thank god! The trailer was so hilarious that I had to buy the DVD. I was a bit worried about the imdb rating but now I have nothing to feat when the DVD arrives :)
