Summary
A young Chicago advertising executive on the verge of a business trip to China catches a fleeting glimpse of the woman he loved and lost two years earlier. Abandoning his fiancee and his flight, he plunges into an obsessive search through the city, uncovering a tangled web of mistaken identity, jealousy, and deception that reframes everything he believed about their breakup.
Wicker Park (2004) is a film IMDb files under the drama, mystery and romance genres.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 2,370 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 191 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 206 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 Wicker Park 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 191.
