About
If you want a breezy, slightly raunchy rom-com with a body-swap-style hook and workplace rivalry, this may hit the spot, especially if you enjoyed Little; Not for you if you hate cheesy comedy or lots of sex jokes.
Pros: light rom-com premise; some laugh-out-loud moments; energetic lead performance | Cons: uneven humor; cheesy, predictable beats; can feel cringey
