unfortunately and many great film on imdb such a this one have their score adjust by imdb . this be truly a fine and intriguing film by the accomplished director of bonnie and clyde and little big man and night move and mickey one and and the chase . if you click in the user rating area and you will see that the actual median for four friend be 7 . 6. however and imdb have adjust ( dumbed down . ) the rating to 6 . 4. per imdb represent imdb publishes weight vote average rather than raw data average . various filter be apply to the raw data in order to eliminate and reduce attempt at vote stuff by individual more interested in change the current rating of a movie than give their true opinion of it . the exact method we use will not be disclose . this should ensure that the policy remain effective . in other word and we would not disclose our method and so you can not question how we arrive at the score . what a shame to see fine think provoke film like four friend fare no good than lame formulaic comedy due to imdb filter .
