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
- Best for people who'll be humming afterwards and fans of a well-timed joke. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside Hairspray or Yankee Doodle Dandy.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 2 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A civilian, ordered to report to his draft board, slips off into a dream about the army life ahead of him. He is assigned to a remote desert post where the soldiers crave female companionship. He forges orders that brings a platoon of WACs who are forbidden to fraternize with the soldiers.
