Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
It's still drawing plenty of interest, but a box office flop and middling reviews (33% on Rotten Tomatoes) held it back. 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. If you loved Pleasantville, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 45 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
- Critics were cooler on it than audiences.
Bahbah, Shiha, and Sanqur are three colleagues working in a newspaper whose editor-in-chief, Amer, stipulates that he should not be married to work there. Each of them was married and concealed his marriage. The three go to a hotel in Helwan to recuperate. There they meet Hosnia, who is searching with her uncle for a wealthy groom, and begins to set her nets on them, and events escalate.
