About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, feel-good vacation comedy with romance, big personalities, and plenty of Greek sights; Not for you if you dislike broad stereotypes or very formulaic stories like Larry Crowne.
Pros: scenic Greek locations; easygoing laughs; sweet travel vibe | Cons: heavy stereotypes; predictable rom-com beats; uneven humor
