About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a low-key, dialogue-heavy airport romance with dry humor and two mismatched adults slowly connecting; Not for you if you need fast pacing, big laughs, or lots of plot like Before Sunrise.

Pros: charming leads; sweet airport premise; occasional warm humor | Cons: talky and slow; uneven chemistry; predictable rom-com beats
