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
One for people who get choked up at a comeback and history buffs. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

As a coach and mentor, Walter Gretzky was instrumental in nurturing the talent of his son, hockey great Wayne Gretzky. So it came as an ironic tragedy when in 1991, just days after his 53rd birthday, Walter suffered a debilitating stroke that left him with no memory of his son's hockey career or his own role in Wayne's achievements.
