About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an old-fashioned, tear-leaning romance with witty moments and a famous rendezvous, especially if you like Love Affair or Sleepless in Seattle; Not for you if schmaltz, slow pacing, or contrivances bother you.
Pros: classic romantic setup; charming shipboard banter; big emotional payoff | Cons: dated and corny; contrived plot turns; slow filler stretches
