About

You’ll likely enjoy this edgy, character-focused rom-com if you like messy people finding connection through hard-earned empathy; Not for you if you dislike drawn-out scripts or want humor that’s consistently light, similar to Chocolat and Begin Again.

Pros: sharp, character-driven writing; strong cast chemistry; warm feel-good payoff | Cons: feels too long; abrasive humor rubs wrong; some moments feel contrived
