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
Aimed squarely at 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
Light and funny.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 19 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1927: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Fight manager takes out an insurance policy on his puny pugilist and then proceeds to try to arrange for an accident so that he can collect.
