Why 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 politics junkies and anyone who wants a laugh. Power and ambition drive every scene.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A humorous and inspiring adventure about an ordinary middle school student who strikes up an online friendship with someone bearing the screen name Average Joe, only to discover that he's been corresponding with and giving political advice to the President of the United States.
