Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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
- Right up the alley of people who'll be humming afterwards and people who need a good giggle. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to A Mighty Wind.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Gangsters smuggle diamonds through customs by embedding them in The Spiders' tambourine, then go on a cross-country chase of the rock-and-roll band in order to get them back. Another gang is searching for something The Spiders have, too, and now the two gangs are willing to kill to get it, with the boys caught in the middle!
