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
- Great for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and fans of a well-timed joke. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 35 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Sadoun is France’s best soccer player whose extra-curriculum pleasures are damaging his play and new contract negotiations. Dispatched by his scheming agent to his home village, he ends up reconciling with his father, relating to his fatherless niece, who dotes on him, and training his local children’s team, whom he takes to championship glory.
