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
A natural pick for anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and people who need a good giggle. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful. Same wavelength as The Lavender Hill Mob or The Return of the Pink Panther.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1957: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Martin Wide inherits a bus from his dying grandfather. He restores it from being a hen house into a tourist bus. He puts an ad in the newspaper about "travels to the sun" and also advertises for a stewardess at the same time. The female reporter Vera Boman signs up for the job, in order to expose the "tourist travel hoax". The two, together with passengers of various kinds set off from a snowy Sweden towards Paris. During the trip, Vera starts to realize that Martin is not a "tourist cheater" but a kind and thoughtful travel arranger, who tries to tend to all his passengers as best as he can, even when the situations become difficult to handle. In addition, a famous Swedish diamond has just been stolen and it turns out that both the thieves and the private detectives who are after them, are passengers on the bus.
