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 anyone who likes life-or-death stakes every episode and people who love a good family story. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 25 min. It jumps around in time, so stay with it.
What might put you off
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

An incompetent rogue dentist travels from Australia to the UK, where he wreaks havoc on English teeth until the law catches up with him.
