Weeknight WatchWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a lukewarm 41% audience score and soft box office, 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
- Made for people who love a good growing-up story and anyone who likes life-or-death stakes every episode. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Fans of Matilda or Descendants 3 should feel right at home. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run.
- The mood
- Darkly funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG: slapstick violence. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Now a pre-teen, Junior has fallen head over heels for a classmate who doesn't even notice him, but does notice three other boys – a child star, a hockey player and a Boy Scout – who are rivals to Junior. This means war!
