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
Aimed squarely at anyone who's survived a family wedding and anyone interested in what war does to people. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Same wavelength as Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. or All Quiet on the Western Front. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 9 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1928: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

When a Catholic and a Jew wed they find themselves disowned by both of their families.
