About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a heartfelt sports-meets-romcom with lots of banter and feel-good warmth; Not for you if you prefer tight, strictly sports-focused stories like North Dallas Forty or you dislike long, sappy rom-com pacing like As Good as It Gets.

Pros: charming performances; witty sports talk; warm romantic tone | Cons: slow middle moments; overlong feel; cheesy edges
