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
Right up the alley of music lovers and animal lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse or Glengarry Glen Ross. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 10 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1924: an older pace and style.
  • Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.

A lighthouse keeper and his daughter are in trouble on two fronts--if the authorities find out he is going blind they will remove him, and a gang of liquor-smugglers is trying to destroy the lighthouse so they can land their illegal cargo on shore without being spotted.
