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
Great for fans of a well-timed joke. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 9 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1938: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Robert Benchley offers a humorous lecture on how to avoid different types of strain during reading.
