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
Right up the alley of people who'll be humming afterwards and people who love a good family story. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Dreamgirls or It's a Wonderful Life. Anyone with siblings or parents will recognize something here.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

Preacher's daughter Amara Winter sings in the church choir before being discovered by a well-established musician. She soon rises to international fame as a pop singer.
