Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With rough reviews, soft box office and little 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
Aimed squarely at people who love relationship stories and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Light on its feet, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off

  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

John Bourgignon, a drummer-chauffeur engaged to the daughter of a United States senator, encounters a sleazy film director, the leader of an aerobics cult, and other crazed characters in the days leading up to his wedding.
