Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With almost no lasting buzz 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
- Right up the alley of people who love a good growing-up story and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Sits nicely alongside Stagecoach or Blazing Saddles. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 17 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
The spoilt young son of a wealthy railroad owner manages to get himself lost in the middle of nowhere. He is found by a cowboy on a cattle drive and the lad must start learning the hard lessons of working in a team if he wants to make it to San Diego.
