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?

Who'll love it
Best for people who'll be humming afterwards and romantics. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked Wicked? This is a good next one.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A feisty 18-year-old Italian-American New Yorker named Cindy is sent off to Rome with her irascible stepmother and vain stepsisters. On the way, she meets and falls in love with, globetrotting bagpacker Mizio, who eventually turns out to be of Italian nobility. There's a fairy stand-in in the form of a spaced-out astrologer, a dance, and she even loses a shoe at one point. Care to venture a guess how it all turns out?
