About
You may like this if you enjoy witty 1960s romantic comedies with tangled lies and charming leads; Not for you if you want fast pacing or modern humor, though fans of Barefoot in the Park or Irma la Douce may feel at home.
Pros: witty relationship farce; strong lead chemistry; lively performances | Cons: some dated humor; stretched-out middle; uneven pacing
