Summary

Released in 1999, Buddy Boy is a drama and thriller film.

Only 20 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 21 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 36 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 1990s films — 4,082 of them.
