About
You may enjoy this if you like light, old-fashioned musical romance with Shakespearean comedy and a playful mood, especially if titles like The Last Five Years appeal; Not for you if you want a straightforward or text-heavy adaptation.
Pros: playful romantic setup; lively songs and charm; stylish 1930s mood | Cons: uneven blend of styles; trimmed-down story; awkward performances
