Summary
Four neglected children from the eccentric, old-fashioned Willoughby family hatch a scheme to send their selfish parents on a dangerous vacation so they can become orphans. Left in the care of an unconventional nanny and aided by a candy-factory owner, the siblings embark on an adventure that forces them to reconsider what family really means.
The Willoughbys (2020) is a film IMDb files under the adventure, animation and comedy genres. Its comedy subtype is Dark Comedy.
7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 108 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 142 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 149 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 The Willoughbys 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 · 2020s (7,930 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 142.
