Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little 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: If you count yourself among romantics and anyone who wants a laugh, this one's for you. Very British, in all the best ways. Liked Maurice? This is a good next one.
The mood: Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off: Rated R: meant for adults.
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Sex and love. Some seek it, some need it, some spurn it and some pay for it, but we're all involved in it. Set on one afternoon on Hampstead Heath in north-west London, the film investigates the minutiae of seven couples. What makes us tick?
