About
You may like this if you want a small, offbeat coming-of-age rom-com that mixes messy dating with questions about money and self-worth; Not for you if you need sharp comedy, big romance, or a tightly driven story.
Pros: engaging central idea; strong lead performance; light but thoughtful tone | Cons: thin plot; uneven pacing; bland or generic feel
