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
Best for politics junkies and anyone who's survived an office job. Power and ambition drive every scene. If you loved Office Space or Sleeper, start here. Anyone who's had a job will recognize these people.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Zips along, at 1 hr 44 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

The two computer specialists Frank and Kamminke are not the type of citizens the party likes. Thus they are sent to the landscape where they still find enough stuff to do: They repair the software of a western type factory which is currently not working.
