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: Best for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people who like their stories at full throttle. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of Cobain: Montage of Heck or Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me should feel right at home.
The mood: Exciting, eye-opening.
The pace: Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off: Rated R: meant for adults.
Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

It is about a music school in Philadelphia, The Paul Green School of Rock Music, run by Paul Green that teaches kids ages 9 to 17 how to play rock music and be rock stars. Paul Green teaches his students how to play music such as Black Sabbath and Frank Zappa better than anyone expects them to by using a unique style of teaching that includes getting very angry and acting childish.
