Summary
Lara Jean Covey is a shy high schooler who writes secret love letters to every boy she has ever had a crush on, never intending to send them. When the letters are mysteriously mailed out, she enters a fake relationship with one of the recipients, Peter Kavinsky, to save face and make another crush jealous. As the pretend romance plays out, real feelings begin to complicate everything.
To All the Boys I've Loved Before is a 2018 comedy, drama and romance film. Its comedy subtype is Romcom.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus. 298 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 324 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 To All the Boys I've Loved Before 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 298.
