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
- Great for fans of cool, efficient anti-heroes and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). Lean and efficient, like its main character. A good follow-up to Play It Again, Sam or The Love Hypothesis. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Charlotte is a woman with anger management issues whose therapist suggests she write a journal to keep her emotions in check. Unlucky in love, she ventures online to find a boyfriend. Just as she reaches her limit of unsuccessful dates, Charlotte meets her soul mate Lyle. Everything is perfect until Lyle finds Charlotte's journal and sets out to prove just how deeply he loves her.
