About
You may enjoy this if you like messy relationship comedies with a darker edge, especially movies like Love Stinks or Two Can Play That Game; Not for you if toxic romance played for laughs is a dealbreaker.
Pros: dark romantic tension; wild emotional swings; memorable 90s vibe | Cons: broad humor style; unlikeable behavior; dated gender dynamics
