Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz 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.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for fans of a well-timed joke and a family movie night. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 11 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1942: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

The gang prevails upon old-time minstrel impresario Walter Wills to help them stage a fund-raising musical show.
