About
You’ll likely enjoy this feel-good college comedy if you like big, enthusiastic humor and stories about starting over; Not for you if you want nonstop laughs or more surprising, less predictable comedy, like Night School or The Boss.
Pros: very funny at times; upbeat and sweet; strong performances | Cons: too formulaic; jokes feel forced; can be boring
