Summary

Polyester is a 1981 comedy film.

Only 47 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 50 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. 3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 366 of whom clear the calibration test.
