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 music lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of tick, tick... BOOM! or Inside Llewyn Davis should feel right at home.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1963: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A pop singer who has been successful on Broadway, is homesick and returns.
