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
- Right up the alley of fans of a good con and anyone who likes watching an argument won. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Same wavelength as The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance or Cat Ballou. The best scenes are battles fought with words.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 56 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
Dorothy, and her big city lawyer boyfriend, return to the Lazy 'B' ranch to read her late father's will. For Dorothy to inherit everything, she must stay on the ranch for 5 years. If she does not, everything goes to Buck, who is the manager. She does not like Buck, so she makes a deal with the wrong people for cattle and then the outlaws go to the ranch to get the $10,000 from her. But Buck is on the job.
