Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office flop and middling reviews (59% on Rotten Tomatoes), 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
Tailor-made for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and fans of a well-timed joke. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of The Madness of King George should feel right at home. Set in sun-baked Los Angeles.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 2 hr 2 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
