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
Aimed squarely at anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and people who need a laugh after work. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. A good follow-up to 10 Things I Hate About You or Holes. Anyone who's had a job will recognize these people.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG: slapstick violence. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Kids' comedy with all the clichés. Six boys (hero, pudgy, dumb, romeo, etc), reluctantly sent to summer camp, are grouped together in a ramshackle hut, and instantly identified as losers and outcasts by the overconfident camp bullies, who target gorgeous Tiffany (Jakub) as their Lothario's girlfriend. They set out to make everyone's life miserable as they impose their authority on the other kids and ineffective counselors alike. Andy, the good-guy hero, of course has a crush on Tiffany, but hasn't a clue how to approach her. Gradually, the nice guys gain the edge over the bullies, by honest endeavor and standing up for themselves - and in doing so, win over the other kids, even Tiffany. Until the bullies frame them and have them expelled.
