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
Right up the alley of romantics and western fans. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Shelve it next to Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans or Bad Day at Black Rock.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1926: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

While building an irrigation system for a Southwestern desert community, an engineer vies with a local cowboy for the affections of a rancher's daughter.
