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.
