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
Right up the alley of anyone fascinated by the criminal underworld and anyone who loves watching the truth get chased down. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. A good follow-up to The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! or A Shot in the Dark. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
The mood
Light and funny, tense.
The pace
Light on its feet, at 1 hr 4 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1945: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Two reporters search for a missing body in a wax museum.
