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
Right up the alley of history and war-film fans and anyone looking to switch off and smile. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Liked Catch-22? This is a good next one.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Light on its feet, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Abboud lives a reckless life with his two friends. He knows that he will not enter the army because he's an only child. But when his father marries another woman who gives birth to a boy, Abboud is forced to join the army in spite of being unfit, working at the border with his friends.
