About
You may like this if you want a heartfelt, slightly dated romance-drama about young love facing adult responsibilities, somewhere between Nine Months and Fools Rush In; Not for you if you want a consistently light comedy or subtle family conflict.
Pros: honest emotion; relatable young romance; watchable drama-comedy mix | Cons: uneven tone; preachy message; exaggerated parents
