Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for music lovers and anyone who's survived a family wedding. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. If you loved What's Love Got to Do with It or Dreamgirls, start here. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 29 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Based on the autobiography of Sonny Bono, this film focuses on the volatile relationship between Sonny and Cher during the early 60's to their messy divorce in the late 70's.
