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
Made for anyone who likes knowing it really happened and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. Liked Remember the Titans or A Night to Remember? This is a good next one.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 28 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A former news reporter marries and tries to adjust to the life of a house wife and mother. However, her need for an adrenaline high is overpowering and she becomes a gambling addict.
