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
If you count yourself among lovers of period drama and anyone who's ever talked to their pet, this one's for you. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own. If you loved Oliver! or Great Expectations, start here. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Warm and romantic, feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

At a rural railway station in Victorian England, Jim is a spunky Jack Russell Terrier who escapes his mean master at the circus, and is soon befriended by station porter Bob and lonely orphan Henry. His performing feats soon become a local attraction, and before long he's in the middle of a battle to save the local orphanage.
