About
You might enjoy this if you like old-fashioned comedies that poke fun at wealth and social status, in the spirit of A King in New York or Blithe Spirit; Not for you if you want fast pacing or big laughs throughout.
Pros: witty social satire; charming light tone; amusing class humor | Cons: thin central idea; uneven pacing; less funny for some
