About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a vintage, fish-out-of-water romantic comedy with snappy dialogue and small-town wedding chaos; Not for you if you’re sensitive to dated gender politics or need big laughs like Magic Town.
Pros: witty banter; strong supporting cast; light, breezy fun | Cons: dated attitudes; uneven lead chemistry; ending may frustrate
