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
- Best for music lovers and people who need a good giggle. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked Fantasia or Sing? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 9 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
