Monday Morning Maybe

Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With just 5% on Rotten Tomatoes, a lukewarm 5.5 out of 10 from audiences and soft box office, 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: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and adventure fans. If you loved Blazing Saddles or Back to the Future Part III, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: Breezy, at 1 hr 30 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG-13: slapstick violence. Probably too much for younger kids.
Critics were cooler on it than audiences.

Two hapless explorers lead an ill-fated 1804 expedition through the Pacific Northwest in a hopeless, doomed effort to reach the Pacific Ocean before Lewis and Clark.
