Weeknight Watch

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It made about 10 times its budget, but a lukewarm 6.1 out of 10 from audiences and little lasting buzz 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.

What might put you off
