Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (35% on Rotten Tomatoes) and soft box office 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 likes to be kept guessing and romantics. If you loved Great Expectations, start here.
The mood
Tense, warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 51 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

Two strangers are drawn together under incredible circumstances. What starts as an unforeseen encounter over a long holiday weekend soon becomes a second chance love story.
