About
You’ll like this breezy road romcom if you enjoy mismatched travel partners and lots of detours, but Not for you if you want a straightforward romance or strongly prefer “Six Days Seven Nights” style adventure over relationship comedy.
Pros: funny road misadventures; great chemistry; colorful settings | Cons: erratic companion; uneven story; some disliked ending
