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
Tailor-made for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone looking to switch off and smile. A good pick for a cozy night in.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 19 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Comic mayhem results when a small town pet store owner, mistakenly believed killed during a sea voyage, turns up very much alive.
