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
One for people who start the Christmas movies early and anyone who's ever talked to their pet. Made to be watched with the tree lit. If you loved The Muppet Christmas Carol, start here. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Sally Brown, a successful children's book author and Army widow loses her late husband's German Shepherd, Buddy, only to later find him adopted by a new family - single father Mark Green and his teenage daughter Emma. Each finds a sense of Christmas spirit as they struggle to decide with whom the dog really belongs.
