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 people who like their stories with a little danger and people who need a good giggle. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Fans of Blindspotting should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
If you find yourself screwing a strange piece of ass who’s waaaaay out of your league and her husband happens to walk in on you and she shoots him dead — whatever you do, don’t cough up 25 G’s for her to hush it up because, my friend, you’re being scammed. It’s just the old badger game. And if you do give her money and her name is Sharon Mills (CLAUDINE BENET, an angular blonde with hefty hooters and a divine ass) then you must be Ed Garner, victim of these lewd and larcenous Love Games... Suspecting a scam, Ed — a married, middle-aged man — seeks help from private detective Rick "The Dick" Taylor,a hard-drinking, wise-cracking, ex-actor who believes there’s "nothing like getting laid in the line of duty." Taylor’s dum-as-they-cum secretary, Lucy Brown (SHARON KELLY), a.k.a. "Juicy Lucy, the girl with secretarial secretions," is only too happy to fill her mouth with Rick’s private dick. As Rick says, "A woman should be obscene and not heard."
