Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It was a solid box office hit, but middling reviews (46% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 6.4 out of 10 from audiences held it back. 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 and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Strictly Ballroom or Much Ado About Nothing, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

A bored estate lawyer spots a beautiful woman in the window of a ballroom dance studio. He secretly starts taking dancing lessons to be near her, and then over time discovers how much he loves dancing. His wife, meanwhile, has hired a private detective to find out why he has started coming home late smelling of perfume.
