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
Made for fans of mob stories and fans of a good courtroom showdown. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Liked The Sting or GoodFellas? This is a good next one. The best scenes are battles fought with words.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 58 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A female lawyer sets up her own practice but only achieves success as an attorney for the mob.
