Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little 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
A natural pick for anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches and fans of sharp satire. Power and ambition drive every scene. If you loved Sleeper or Jungle Cruise, start here. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

The British governor of a tiny island nation in the Caribbean Commonwealth finds his idyllic existence thrown into chaos when an American drilling company finds a huge source of natural mineral water there.
