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
Tailor-made for fans of newsroom stories and people who'll be humming afterwards. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. A good follow-up to West Side Story. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 9 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1930: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A successful Broadway star ready to retire from her wild career announces her engagement. But her tumultuous past isn't done with her yet.
