About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re in the mood for an all-singing, relationship-focused musical with a bittersweet tone and a non-linear structure, similar to Rock of Ages or Country Strong; Not for you if you want a straightforward rom-com with lots of dialogue.
Pros: memorable songs; strong lead chemistry; emotional honesty | Cons: confusing timeline; thin story beats; not for non-musical fans
