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
- If you count yourself among anyone who wants a laugh and parents and kids watching together, this one's for you. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 10 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 1943: an older pace and style.
- Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.
Our Gang member Janet Burston believes that her family is neglecting her, so she decides to run away from home. The other gang members try to help Janet get adopted (or "adapted") by a more agreeable family, choosing a kindly elderly couple (Sarah Padden and Harry C. Bradley) for the honor.
