You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, very funny romantic comedy about dating mishaps and self-acceptance, with a modern classic vibe like Notting Hill; Not for you if you dislike cringe humor or romcom clichés.
Pros: endearing messy lead; sharp, wry humor; charming romcom energy | Cons: some cringe moments; predictable genre beats; a bit dated
