About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a low-key, positive romance that treats same-sex love as ordinary, in the vein of Five Dances or The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy; Not for you if wooden acting and thin drama bother you.
Pros: gentle, uplifting romance; supportive family vibe; easy, low-stress viewing | Cons: uneven acting; weak, awkward dialogue; far-fetched premise
