About
If you enjoy classic, silly romantic mix-ups and hotel-room farce in the style of My Favorite Wife or Pillow Talk, this may work for you; Not for you if you dislike cringe comedy and drawn-out misunderstandings.
Pros: lively premise; broad slapstick moments; fun supporting roles | Cons: repetitive farce; overdone humor; weaker than original
