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: One for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and fans of a well-timed joke. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: Breezy, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Saturnin is a servant who becomes his master's master. A young man of good social standing and upbringing, somewhat conservative, acquires, through no fault of his own, a servant named Saturnin. Saturnin effectively becomes his employer's master and causes a series of surprising twists and situations in his previously peaceful life. Without Saturnin, these would be difficult to manage. If only because without him, they would probably never have happened.
