Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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 sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and fans of a well-timed joke. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 26 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
A young man loves football and dreams of becoming a professional player despite the opposition of his family. As he joins a football team and they begin to win, he falls in love with his neighbor, but there is a wealthy man who wants to keep them apart.
