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
Made for crime fans and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Naked Gun or Enola Holmes 2, start here.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1937: an older pace and style.

Two dubious characters disguise themselves as Holmes and Watson to gain attention and end up chasing counterfeiters and stolen stamps.
