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
- Right up the alley of anyone with a soft spot for road trips and anyone who wants a laugh. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. Sits nicely alongside Night on Earth or Stand by Me.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 16 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Norwegian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
An unemployed music teacher takes his estranged transgender parent on a road trip to the west coast of Norway, in order to honor his late mother's excellent quilting skills.
