About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic, sweet-but-melancholy New York romance with an unforgettable lead and witty moments; Not for you if dated racial caricatures or uneasy, old-fashioned relationship dynamics are dealbreakers, even compared with Sabrina.
Pros: charming, iconic lead; funny dialogue; warm romance | Cons: dated stereotypes; uneven tone; uncomfortable relationship moments
