Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
- A natural pick for anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and anyone looking to switch off and smile. The walls close in, and so does the tension.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 1 hr 48 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
A company president gets framed with a food-poisoning scandal and the only person who can help him is the evening cleaning-woman, who always seems to be at the right place at the right time.
