Weeknight Watch

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but just 11% on Rotten Tomatoes and a box office loss 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. If you loved The Revenant or Leaving Las Vegas, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood: Warm and romantic.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 14 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG-13: a parent's death or loss. Probably too much for younger kids.
Critics were cooler on it than audiences.

A young couple's relationship clashes with the harsh realities of the California Gold Rush of 1850. Angel, experiencing love for the first time and facing demons unsurmountable, runs from the new life she doesn't believe she deserves. When Michael sets out to find her, Angel discovers that she indeed has the power to choose the life she wants.
