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.
