Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 50 min.

Jack always lands on his feet. He lands on his feet when he marries the beautiful Sarah. He lands on his feet when he buys a luxurious new home. However, when Sarah goes into labour, he takes a tumble down the stairs and lands on his head. When he comes around he discovers he is the proud father of a baby girl, but deficient in the spouse department to the tune of 1.
