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
Right up the alley of anyone who's ever talked to their pet and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Sits nicely alongside Stardust or Alita: Battle Angel.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 7 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1926: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Rin-Tin-Tin is saved from the beatings of a trapper by Ed Nolan, a shiftless trapper himself, and 'Rinty" follows Nolan home to his cabin but refuses to enter. Nolan takes him to the home of Mary Mallory, the girl he has failed to win as his wife because of his ways, and in their mutual love of 'Rinty," a new understanding is born and Nolan goes to work.
