Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Monster's Ball or The Postman Always Rings Twice, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

Dorian and Angus chase down their womanizing stepfather with a helicopter, frightening him to death. In his effort to cover their tracks, Dorian begins investigating his stepfather's mistress, Sally. She works at a fast-food drive-through, she's pregnant and Dorian quickly falls in love with her. Unfortunately, his scheming mother wants Sally dead. And Sally isn't sure she wants Dorian to be her child's father and also his brother.
