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.

Who'll love it: Right up the alley of fans of a well-timed joke. Low effort, high reward: just press play.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: Quick and easy-going, at 21 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Made in 1932: an older pace and style.
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

An unconventional dentist deals with patients in slapstick fashion.
