You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a smart, funny romantic mystery about marriage anxieties and social expectations, with lots of sharp talk; Not for you if you dislike dated gender roles or slow-burn setups like The Shop Around the Corner.

Pros: sharp, witty dialogue; engaging guessing-game setup; strong performances | Cons: dated gender attitudes; uneven sympathy for characters; slow early pacing
