You’ll likely enjoy this if you like charming silent romantic comedies, flirty Jazz Age energy, or old-Hollywood comfort watches in the vein of The Devil and Miss Jones or Christmas in July; Not for you if you need a deeper, less dated story.
Pros: lively lead presence; witty, breezy fun; vivid 1920s atmosphere | Cons: thin predictable story; some slow stretches; dated social attitudes
