About
You’ll probably enjoy this if you like goofy, fish-out-of-water 80s comedy and a couple trying to survive small-town chaos—Not for you if you want a tightly structured story or consistently laugh-out-loud humor like One Crazy Summer or Big Business.
Pros: big laughs; charming chemistry; cozy 80s comedy | Cons: uneven story closure; character likability issues; mixed humor level
