About
You may enjoy this if you like romantic comedies with identity themes, culture-shock humor, and a bittersweet tone, similar to Tortilla Soup; Not for you if uncomfortable age-gap dating or uneven, sometimes contrived storytelling bothers you.
Pros: funny culture-clash moments; heartfelt self-discovery; some strong performances | Cons: uneven writing; implausible romance setup; thin supporting characters
