About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, 1960s-style romantic comedy about newlywed growing pains and quirky neighbors; Not for you if dated, stage-play vibes and lots of bickering aren’t your thing, and you prefer something like The Goodbye Girl.

Pros: charming sixties rom-com; witty relationship banter; fun supporting turns | Cons: stagey, limited setting; dated tone and jokes; leads can irritate
