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
- If you count yourself among anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and people who need a good giggle, this one's for you. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Set in the 1960s, and it looks the part.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Set on the quiet campus of Yellowstream University, this comedy follows the rivalries that build between two of the college's fraternities. When they're not mooning everyone they pass and throwing garbage on the lawns of rival frats, the members of the Pi Kappa Delta fraternity are mainly interested in drinking and... well, drinking. When a campus-wide farting contest is announced, Grossout, the leader of the Deltas, is all too eager to stand up, bend over and defend the honor of his fraternity.
