Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

People are still talking about it, but a lukewarm 6.3 out of 10 from audiences 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 and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Apartment or Carol, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 43 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

An uptight, conservative businesswoman accompanies her boyfriend to his eccentric and outgoing family's annual Christmas celebration and finds that she's a fish out of water in their free-spirited way of life.
