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
Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little danger and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Easy company after a long day. If you loved A Shot in the Dark or Arsenic and Old Lace, start here.
The mood
Light and funny, tense.
The pace
Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 6 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1939: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A New York City newspaper is sued for libel after reporting the wrong verdict in a murder trial.
