About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, upbeat comedy about being underestimated and proving yourself, with plenty of silliness and heart; Not for you if you dislike cheesy, predictable “chick flick” vibes like 13 Going on 30.
Pros: funny, feel-good energy; empowering underdog arc; charming lead performance | Cons: predictable story beats; some cringe moments; exaggerated stereotypes
