Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With just 20% on Rotten Tomatoes, 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
Made for anyone who wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and fantasy fans. If you loved Sleeper, start here.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 30 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 30 min.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

An outrageous collection of surreal, short attention span non-sequiturs largely revolving around Guitar Brother, his randy older sibling, and the pair's portly Caucasian brother.
