About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an offbeat, emotional story about unlikely friendship and starting over after loss, in the vein of Larry Crowne; Not for you if contrived plots, tonal whiplash, or heavy melodrama frustrate you.
Pros: heartfelt grief-and-healing story; strong lead pairing; touching moments | Cons: clashing tones; implausible premise; cheesy, forced drama
