Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office flop and middling reviews (23% on Rotten Tomatoes), 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
- A natural pick for fantasy readers and anyone who's survived a family wedding. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. A good follow-up to Parenthood or Grandma. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 35 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
A 30-year-old spends a wild weekend in Palm Springs and wakes up to find she has magically transformed into her 70-year-old self.
