About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, goofy undercover comedy with makeover hijinks, warm moments, and a bit of romance, similar in vibe to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days; Not for you if you want serious crime tension or modern humor.
Pros: lots of laugh-out-loud moments; charming lead performance; fun supporting cast | Cons: thin, exaggerated plot; dated stereotypes and jokes; drags in final stretch
