Plot Summary
In this award-winning Spanish film, a group of stevedores living in an impoverished part of northern Spain lose their jobs and are forced to look for work after the local dockyard closes. The longtime friends end up spending their days loafing, drinking, schmoozing and picking up women, all the while searching for something -- anything -- that will help them retain a sense of personal dignity.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Pulses with the star power of the extraordinary Javier Bardem.
Fresh: A quintessentially European, methodically paced and intelligent slice of life.
Fresh: Bardem gives what might have been too slow and plodding a movie its heart and its humor.
Rotten: Midway, Mondays in the Sun becomes as dull as a day with nothing to do.
Customer Reviews
One of the Best Spanish Movies Out There!
Javier Bardem always delivers a great performance, and this is one of his best. This is a mature, well written, well directed, well acted comedy / drama with a high degree of realism. You can't go wrong here.
