Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone looking to switch off and smile. Easy company after a long day.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Light on its feet, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Lt. Fergie Howard teams up with Lt. Beau Gilliam and Navy scientist Jason Eldridge to turn a supercomputer with missile-tracking capabilities into a tool to predict where a roulette ball will land. They dock in Venice, Italy, and begin making a killing at the casino, but their shore-to-ship signals get misinterpreted as signs of attack by Adm. Fitch, putting a serious crimp in the officers' get-rich-quick scheme.
