About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a talky, bittersweet relationship comedy with a romantic New York vibe, especially if you like Annie Hall; Not for you if age-gap storylines or cynical, messy characters are deal-breakers.
Pros: sharp, witty dialogue; memorable New York mood; strong supporting performances | Cons: uncomfortable age-gap romance; self-centered lead; humor can feel dry
