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 love a true story told well. You'll come away knowing something you didn't. If you loved Woodstock, start here.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Documentary following some stoner friends over the course of roughly a day. Featured here is Bill, a guy who got kicked out of the Marines for doing dope steadily for six years (I'm not gonna do it forever--or maybe I will, who knows?) and Barry, a forklift-driving doper who wins the Employee of the Month plaque while stoned (Live for yourself--live today and then worry about tomorrow when it gets here--that's the way I go).
