Dinner Rush
Scored from 56 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
Bob Giraldi's ensemble crime drama plays out over a single night at a Tribeca trattoria owned by Louis Cropa (Danny Aiello), a veteran bookmaker who wants out of the rackets. His son Udo, the restaurant's celebrated young chef, has replaced the family's old-school Italian cooking with ambitious nouvelle cuisine and wants Louis to sign the place over to him. Downstairs the dining room fills with an art-world crowd, a food critic and two neighborhood gangsters who have come to collect a cook's gambling debts and to take a piece of the business, so the kitchen's service rhythm and the tables' negotiations advance in parallel. Giraldi, a restaurateur himself, shot the film in his own Manhattan restaurant.
Released in 2000, Dinner Rush is a crime, drama and romance film. It is rated R. The runtime is 98 minutes. It was made in the United States.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 160 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 56 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 58 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Dinner Rush lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 56.
