Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With middling reviews (24% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 6.0 out of 10 from audiences, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Breezy, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

When bachelor Walter Davis is set up with his sister-in-law's pretty cousin, Nadia Gates, a seemingly average blind date turns into a chaotic night on the town. Walter's brother, Ted, tells him not to let Nadia drink alcohol, but he dismisses the warning and her behaviour gets increasingly wild. Walter and Nadia's numerous incidents are made even worse as her former lover David relentlessly follows them around town.
