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: Made for fans of a well-timed joke and people who love a story set somewhere strange. Leaves you with ideas to chew on afterwards. If you loved The Adventures of Baron Munchausen or Mickey 17, start here.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: Breezy, at 1 hr 14 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1963: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

An aspiring astronaut prepares his ship for take-off, plugs in a razor and causes a blackout. In the deep darkness the boy imagines himself meeting the literary characters who have enthralled readers past with their stories of space travel.
