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 history and war-film fans and parents and kids watching together. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 47 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.

As part of the drama anthology program's third anniversary, a film version was created. Ana, a young girl, is responsible of taking care of little BJ while his mother (Ana's cousin) Marissa left the country to work in Japan as an entertainer.
