Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and fans of a well-timed joke. Easy company after a long day.
The mood
Funny with heart, tense.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 16 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Donner and his roomates are out of money and about to get evicted from their home. So as a diversion from their situation, he invites them to his father's cabin in the Canadian wilderness. They all go along, but soon learn that there's no cabin - he's really trying to find Sasquatch.
