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
A natural pick for romantics and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Liked Yentl or Forrest Gump? This is a good next one.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

When Leah's husband Benjamin dies suddenly, Benjamin's brother Jake is stunned to learn he is expected to marry the childless Leah to carry on his brother's name. Jake suggests to Leah that they get married and maintain a secretly platonic relationship. The harder they try to disguise their "pretend" marriage, the more their appreciation for each other's worlds grow, and out of understanding, a real love develops.
