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 romantics and anyone looking to switch off and smile. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Sits nicely alongside Brooklyn.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 21 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1948: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A small-town girl who's made it big in New York as a fashion model returns home, only to find that her somewhat dotty uncle has mortgaged his boarding house to the hilt. In her efforts to help him keep his boarding house, she becomes involved with a handsome young minister and his superior, an older bishop.
