About

You’ll probably enjoy this offbeat rom-com if you like stories that balance humor with real heartbreak and look back on a relationship’s ups and downs; Not for you if you want a typical fairy-tale love story, like The Fault in Our Stars.

Pros: witty, relatable breakup; refreshing rom-com take; strong lead performance | Cons: chemistry feels uneven; ending feels sudden; characters seen unrealistic
