About
You’ll likely enjoy this witty, feel-good London rom-com if you like classic blind-date mix-ups and light hearted chaos; Not for you if you dislike cringe humor or gross-out style jokes—though it may scratch a similar itch to Notting Hill or Rye Lane.
Pros: fast-paced rom-com; hilarious dialogue; charming leads | Cons: crude jokes fatigue; cringe awkwardness; some predictability
