About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like romantic musicals with catchy songs, a dreamy mood, and stories about chasing big goals, especially if In the Heights or Midnight in Paris appealed to you; Not for you if frequent singing feels distracting.

Pros: memorable songs; dreamy atmosphere; strong romantic chemistry | Cons: light story depth; bittersweet tone; not for musical skeptics
