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
If you count yourself among music lovers and fans of a well-timed joke, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of Another Cinderella Story or Help! should feel right at home.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 5 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1945: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

A brash young singer and an unemployed "jukebox girl" hire an elderly Confederate "colonel" to teach them to be "southern" so they can land a radio gig for sponsor Plantation Coffee.
