Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and a lukewarm 6.2 out of 10 from audiences, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and sci-fi fans.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 39 min.
What might put you off
It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Following the events of The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid, Sheriff Hall and H-725 (using the official identity of Charlie Warren) still get no rest from the military - because the little alien has not yet grasped the meaning of keeping a low profile. They are constantly on the move, and H-725's father has had to pick them out of a tight spot too many times already.
