Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With just 20% on Rotten Tomatoes, 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 anyone who wants something that moves them and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama. Liked Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy? This is a good next one. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 43 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Sam Roberts thinks he has all the answers: the purpose of life, the meaning of love, the plan for a perfect future. Until Charly walks into his life.
