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
- One for romantics and fans of a well-timed joke. Low effort, high reward: just press play.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1918: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
It's a classic boy-meets-girl story, boy-loses-girl, boy gets mistaken for an escaped convict and ruthlessly chased by armies of cops across the countryside in a thrill-packed stunt-addled climax.
