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
Best for music lovers and fans of a well-timed joke. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 25 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1919: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

A young playwright spends his last cent to pay the past-due rent for the pretty dancer who's his boarding house next-door neighbor. Soon after, he winds up at a gambling club, where he wins big - just before a police raid.
