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?

Made for people who still love a bit of magic and people who like their stories at full throttle. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too.

Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 29 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

The feature introduces a fictional golden-colored flower, which possesses the magical ability to debauch humans who get too close to it. As the flower only chooses kindhearted people as hosts, a group of martial artists who want to eradicate the plants face a dilemma: should one kill good people for rescuing men from sin?
