Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With just 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, a lukewarm 49% audience score 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.

Who'll love it: Best for fans of a well-timed joke and a family movie night. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood: Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace: Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Rated R: meant for adults.
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Arlo accepts what seems to him to be a dream promotion to Idaho. He soon discovers, however, that moving has its own share of problems.
