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: Great for spy-story fans and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Nobody is quite who they seem. Shelve it next to The Station Agent.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

An almost bombproof method of staying single is called "speed dating". 18 people participate in such an event. Nine men and nine women are sitting opposite each other in order to sell optimally under the pressure of time and to find a partner. They are looking for a date - and have nothing else in common. They talk about allergies, cappuccino, consumer behavior, buses and designer clothes: the list of serious embarrassments is long. Yet none of the lonely hearts has given up the hope of romance.
