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
- Great for anyone looking to switch off and smile and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Shelve it next to Smoke.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.

- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Would-be novelist Jess Bartlett stages a "quiet night in" to finish her new book, fuelled by glasses of wine and her favourite board game, "Cluedo". Then all manner of odd friends and acquaintances show up with only one thing in common - they pay 'Cluedo'. As Jess moves her pieces into place, her life unravels as she becomes "trapped" in her house with a troubled footballer, a manic TV advice show host and a randy old author and an unseen chicken.
