Summary

Porridge is a 1979 comedy and crime film.

Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 40 of whom clear the calibration test. 2,405 other films from the 1970s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 27 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 27 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
