Why 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
One for romantics and fans of a well-timed joke. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. If you loved Is This Thing On?, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 51 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1949: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Frivolous young dandy is trying to score with an operetta singer, but she ends up with his uncle.
