1.6 Average User Rating!! Mostly ONES and TENS.
The ratings distribution for this movie has got to be one of the least meaningful things I've ever seen on IMDb. 93% of people rated it either ONE or TEN. Less than 7% rated it anywhere between 9 stars and 2 stars.
Anyone who would even consider watching this movie in the first place, would likely give this movie between 4 and 10 Stars.
I think the peak at 6 and 7 is a more meaningful predictor of what a normal, level-headed viewer is likely to think about NSN. When I say "normal, level-headed", I mean anyone EXCEPT the haters and hardcore fans: those millions of us who like some of his music but don't worship the Biebs.
If I could poll a large number of people that I like and respect, I would bet that most of them would rate NSN between 5 and 8 stars. The internet is completely over-run with extremists, who think they are the majority, but they're not. Most people just like movies -- they like some more than others, but they give few ONES and few TENS when rating movies.
