Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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
- If you count yourself among fans of a well-timed joke, this one's for you. Easy company after a long day.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 31 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1965: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Student Shurik has just two hours before the beginning of the exam and he has no lectures notes.
