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
- Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who need a good giggle. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Sits nicely alongside Blazing Saddles or City Slickers.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 11 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1939: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
A loud-mouthed Texas cowpuncher tries his hand at polo finding himself at odds with high society and trying to save a floundering Wild West show.
