Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With just 37 on Metacritic, 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
Aimed squarely at anyone with a soft spot for road trips and crime fans. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. A good follow-up to Midnight Run or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
The mood
Funny with heart, tense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

When a hapless, unfunny, wanna-be comedian picks up a mysterious hitchhiker on his way to Vegas to audition for the Monte Guy show, he unwittingly becomes trapped in a desert-town killing spree that also has a very unexpected consequence - it improves his comedy.
