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
- Best for people who need a good giggle. Easy company after a long day.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Cantinflas is a man who hangs around the studios and helps anyone who needs his advice while at the same time envisioning his own versions of how certain scenes should be shot. Both angles provide ample opportunities for very witty, subtle barbs at the foibles of the industry.
