About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like whimsical, deadpan, physical comedy with a surreal romantic chase, especially if you’ve seen Rumba or Lost in Paris; Not for you if you want a tight plot and consistent humor.
Pros: inventive physical comedy; warm offbeat charm; laugh-out-loud moments | Cons: uneven second half; thin character depth; loose ending
