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
Best for spy-story fans and anyone looking for a holiday tradition. Nobody is quite who they seem. Made to be watched with the tree lit.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 3 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Principal Prickly gets his car stuck in a snowbank and decides it has to be the Recess gang's fault, but the teachers look back and remember all the good times they've had with T.J. and the rest of the gang.
