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
- Great for fans of prison dramas and people who get choked up at a comeback. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Shelve it next to A Close Shave or It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1924: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
In this Mack Sennett comedy, a mother and daughter fear foreclosure because their mortgage payment is due and they're unable to pay it. Meanwhile, the family's son Jack, who's in prison, unexpectedly finds himself free of captivity.
