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: Great for fans of newsroom stories and people who need a good giggle. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. Liked The Station Agent or My Girl? This is a good next one.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 41 min.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Because of this, he is a member of a therapeutical support group for people suffering from terminal diseases.
