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
Made for superhero fans and anyone who wants a laugh. Comic-book roots, so expect big stakes and bigger set pieces. Sits nicely alongside Dick Tracy.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Light on its feet, at 1 hr 18 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Li'l Abner becomes convinced that he is going to die within twenty-four hours, so agrees to marry two different girls: Daisy Mae (who has chased him for years) and Wendy Wilecat (who rescued him from an angry mob). It is all settled at the Sadie Hawkins Day race.
