About
You may like this if you enjoy quirky, heartfelt dramedies about found family and arrested development, especially if titles like Tumbledown or Shanghai Kiss work for you; Not for you if you want fast pacing or high stakes.
Pros: warm odd-couple charm; heartfelt family theme; offbeat humor | Cons: uneven pacing; immature leads; very low-key story
