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
- Great for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and people who get choked up at a comeback. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Liked High School Musical or Freaky Friday? This is a good next one. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.
Through mysterious footage captured on an old malfunctioning video camera, Sinclair High School's star quarterback, Tyler McFarland, learns that some of his teammates have been bullying Cory Walker, a troubled new transfer student. Aware that sharing this information with the coach might get his friends kicked off the team and ultimately cost the school the state championship, Tyler must choose what's more important: winning or doing what's right. As these events unfold, the camera also reveals more surprising footage to Tyler's kid sister Lucy. She learns that Cory has a secret past, unknown even to him. Now Lucy must convince her mom (Faith Ford, Murphy Brown) and family that the camera's revealing insight is not a product of her imagination as she enlists their help to find the answers Cory so desperately needs. It's a compelling and intriguing story that shows both the challenges and rewards of doing the right thing even when it's tough to do.
