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 anyone interested in what war does to people and people who need a good giggle. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Liked Kelly's Heroes or Mrs. Henderson Presents? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1963: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
In WWII Greece, two enemy Colonels, one Italian and the other English, develop a grudging friendship which the war will test.
