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 romantics and people who need a good giggle. Easy company after a long day. Sits nicely alongside How to Marry a Millionaire.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 12 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1939: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

When a young wife discovers her husband of two years is involved with his beautiful secretary, she applies for a job as secretary to a business rival.
