Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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 anyone who remembers how big everything felt at sixteen and romantics. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
A poet sells his collection of comic books and action figures in order to afford to hire a male stripper on New Years Eve.
