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 likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and anyone who wants a laugh. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of His Girl Friday or Top Hat should feel right at home.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Zips along, at 1 hr. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1934: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

After cantankerous and miserly Herbert Kalness insults his daughter's fiance and prospective in-laws at a dinner party, Mrs. Kalness devises a scheme to teach her husband a lesson in good manners.
