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: Aimed squarely at people who need a good giggle and people who love a true story told well. Easy company after a long day.
The mood: Light and funny, eye-opening.
The pace: Moves through the story clearly, at 2 hr 18 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

A shy young man is hired by an ad agency to conduct a survey on sex in Australia. The somewhat clueless young man investigates homosexuality, transvestites, prostitution, and strip clubs along with every other variant on the "norm". While doing his interviews he meets celebrities, self proclaimed sex experts, prostitutes, female impersonators, pop stars, actors, and legislators as well as self appointed morals guardians.
