Starsky & Hutch
Scored from 219 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
Mismatched Bay City detectives David Starsky, a by-the-book hothead, and Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson, a laid-back rule-bender, are forced to partner up and investigate a floating corpse. With help from streetwise informant Huggy Bear, they uncover a scheme by smooth cocaine kingpin Reese Feldman to push an undetectable new product, leading to undercover hijinks in their iconic red Ford Gran Torino.
Starsky & Hutch is a 2004 comedy and crime film. Inside comedy it is classed as Goofy.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 219 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 229 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Starsky & Hutch 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 219.
