Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
- If you count yourself among animal lovers and anyone looking to switch off and smile, this one's for you. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Fans of The Aristocats or Mary Poppins Returns should feel right at home. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 46 min.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.
Sophie is far from being the model little girl one would like her to be, unlike her friends Camille and Madeleine. She always insists on having her own way, often getting into trouble, to the despair of one and all. But her mother is unbending and otherwise inclined. She will not let her get away with anything, and poor Sophie will often have to live with the consequences of her bad behaviour and learn her lesson.
