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 anyone who likes comedy with a point and anyone who wants a laugh. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them. Sits nicely alongside Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A superstitious middle-aged woman falls in love with a taxi driver, while trying to learn the identity of the unseen person tossing eggs at her.
