Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little 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 anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and anyone who loves a strong drama. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Pregnant sixteen year old Jacey's well-meaning mother forces her to keep the birth a secret and decides to raise the baby as her own.
