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
Best for people who love a story about friendship and people ready for a good cry. The friendships are the beating heart of it. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Jake loves living in Chicago but when big city violence hits a little too close to home his parents buy a campground in rural Minnesota and move the family there. Jake hates living at the campground until he meets Peter, the boy across the river. The two quickly become best friends and spend a fun-filled summer together on the river. In one of their conversations, Peter shares his Christian faith with Jake. Jake uses his new faith to help a friend through a tragedy.
