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
- Tailor-made for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and fans of a good courtroom showdown. Nobody is quite who they seem. A good follow-up to The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. The best scenes are battles fought with words.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- A big, patient story, at 2 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- It's long: 2 hr 40 min.
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Sarhan Abdel Basir, a children's performer known for playing a rabbit, becomes a witness in a murder case. Struggling to separate his on-stage persona from reality, he finds himself in a series of comedic situations.
