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
If you count yourself among fans of a well-timed joke and people who like to watch through their fingers, this one's for you. A good one for a late-night scare.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 13 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

Spy spoof about a double agent involved in a phony death plot. Episode of the Wide World of Mystery.
