Summary
A former professional softball player faces an uncertain future after being cut from the national team and finds herself caught between two very different men: a charming, self-absorbed Major League pitcher and a buttoned-up corporate executive whose life is unraveling under a federal investigation. As she navigates the breakup of her athletic identity, she has to figure out what love and honesty actually look like.
How Do You Know (2010) is a film IMDb files under the comedy, drama and romance genres. Its comedy subtype is Romcom.
13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 1,927 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 253 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 262 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
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 How Do You Know 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 · 2010s (13,059 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 253.
