Weeknight Watchearly rating

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With middling reviews (46% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 50% audience score, 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: Right up the alley of people who love relationship stories and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Fans of Parenthood or August: Osage County should feel right at home. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 59 min.
What might put you off: Rated R: expect drug use.
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A wedding at her parents' Annapolis estate hurls high-strung Lynn into the center of touchy family dynamics.
