Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz 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 romantics, anyone who wants a laugh and fantasy fans. If you loved Groundhog Day or The Purple Rose of Cairo, start here.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 25 min.
What might put you off
Made in 1944: an older pace and style.

A young turn-of-the-century newspaper man finds he can get hold of the next day's paper. This brings more problems than fortune, especially as his new girlfriend is part of a phony clairvoyant act.
