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
If you count yourself among sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and anyone who loves a strong drama, this one's for you. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. Same wavelength as Rocky II or The Hurricane.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 6 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1932: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Overworked boxer Jim goes to a health ranch in New Mexico to recover where he falls in love with Peggy and her sickly son. Once recovered, Jim leaves to return to the ring. Can their romance survive the distance?
