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 sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and anyone who wants a laugh. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. A good follow-up to The Hustler.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 10 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1938: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Prep football star Jimmy Howal gets a reception far different from what he expected when he enters West Point.
