Summary

California Dreaming is a 1979 comedy, drama and romance film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 2,405 1970s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 10 of whom clear the calibration test. 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.
