About
You may enjoy this if you like adult 70s comedies that mix melancholy with broad laughs and a midlife-crisis premise, somewhat like Shampoo; Not for you if you want fast pacing, modern sensibilities, or a consistently light rom-com.
Pros: memorable physical comedy; nostalgic 70s vibe; warm moments | Cons: slow first half; overlong and baggy; dated, uneasy tone
