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
A natural pick for people who love a story about friendship and anyone looking to switch off and smile. The friendships are the beating heart of it. Liked Blindspotting or The Intouchables? This is a good next one.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Vowing to get back on the right track, a petty delinquent gets a real job, but quickly discovers that his new employers are not very scrupulous.
