About
You may enjoy this if you like heartfelt, offbeat road-trip romances about later-life love and resilience, in the vein of Away from Her or Supernova; Not for you if you want strict realism or a tightly polished script.
Pros: warm heartfelt humor; touching longtime romance; lively road-trip energy | Cons: uneven writing; thin side character; patchy sense of place
