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
Aimed squarely at people who need a good giggle and western fans. Low effort, high reward: just press play. If you loved Cat Ballou, start here.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1948: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Daniel Bone is aiming for success. A Brooklyn gunsmith by trade, he figures the place to be is where the guns are. So off he goes into the West and becomes the foe of the notorious Pecos Kid, the captive of Paiutes, the target in a saloon showdown, and the lone source of the whereabouts of a fabulous gold strike.
