Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With just 30% on Rotten Tomatoes, a box office loss and little 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
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked A Complete Unknown or Rocketman? This is a good next one. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
