Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With 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
- Made for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and fans of a well-timed joke. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. A good follow-up to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl or Treasure Island.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 39 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.
A treasure buried on an island of the Antilles. A pirate without a straight leg, without a boat, treacherous and bloodthirsty and without the treasure map. A baroness flamboyant, unscrupulous, praying mantis, penniless, but with a boat. A young man without fear and without brains, but with the treasure map engraved somewhere in his failing memory. A doctor without drinking, providential specialist of failing memories and other atypical amnesia ... It is this dream team that sails anchor one morning in the year of grace a thousand and seven hundred and a few, towards the treasure island and its coves of pink sand.
