Monday

He and she are Americans in Greece, each had just experienced failed relationships. They meet at a night spot, they wake up the next morning on the beach. Nude. It must have been a wild and "unmemorable" night. They get into mild trouble, quickly dismissed. No harm, no foul I suppose.

Most of us who are rational adults cannot identify with these characters and their friends. They are not relatable, it is hard to have any sympathy for them. She is an immigration lawyer and scheduled to return to the States the next day but stays in Athens instead with a commercial jingle writer who seems to be mostly irresponsible. Without really knowing anything about him or whether they might be compatible. Only that they enjoy sex like horny rabbits.

The title comes from the idea that two people can really connect in a series of fun weekend exploits together but when Monday comes, what happens next? How do they handle the real world?

I found the movie hard to enjoy most times because most characters used constant filthy language which is jarring to the senses. Plus so many 30-somethings acting like irresponsible teenagers. But I suppose that is the point, showing how that can make life difficult to navigate and how two people who barely know each other probably aren't really compatible, at least not "easily" compatible. The ending is open to lots of interpretation regarding what might happen next.

I enjoyed some of it, especially the scene with the two naked characters being chased by police through the streets of Athens. But can't rate it very highly. My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library.

I really hope Sebastian Stan and Denise Gough had a great time in their greek vacations (as of course the whole cast & crew) because I did not. The same problems that I have with Suntan I have with Monday. Great actors, great photography, great locations, overall good ideas, BUT THE SCRIPT! Oh the script once again is so boring, so dumb that my eyes rolled so far up my head that I was staring my brain...

I just can't stand movies were all it would take in real life it'd be just a conversation to solve our problems and in the movie they don't have that conversation because then you'd have no movie!

I guess this movie cements Argyris Papadimitropoulos' "thing" for having adults behaving like moronic kids in his movies. Even the ones that are supposed to be "mature". And in the end, so what? What happened? Do you care? I don't. The director needs to stop watching erotic films for his research in "relationships" and read a book, or grow up.

This movie is almost the definition of intriguing. In the entire first act of the movie, I was thinking to myself: "I like it, but where is it going?" Well, it went somewhere, but not far. The first act start of very interesting and kept me wanting more, but after a while a started to lose interested. The problem with it is that it's showing a big portion of these characters' life's, but without a big plot or story it's start to become a bit tedious. There's a ten-minute scene in the second act about a failed party, but it could have accomplished the same with 3 minutes. And the same counts for the wedding, and another party. While there are so many situations that are dragged out, it could have used that time to show some background for these characters. There a lot of character development, but we don't know much about their history, which is sad because these are very complex characters. This would have made the emotional and darker moments a lot better. I never had a moment where a felt like I knew these characters. There was always more going on, but we never really got to that. It doesn't have to with the performances, because they are excellent. It just never fully got together for me. Started of strong, but without buildup and background I couldn't get behind it at the end.

The film shows two people acting without much regards to consequences. I find them immature, and I can't connect with them at all. I didn't get into the story, or care about the characters. I found it a bore.

Okay as much as i like sebastian stan

what did i just watch? It's strange but delivers very good performances but what is this. I didn't really care about the nudity on this film. This movie is named monday because of something happened in the last 10 minutes but its always friday. I actually liked the first act but it fell apart in 2nd and 3rd act im questioning myself the entire time, what am i watching?
