About
You’ll likely enjoy this grounded 80s-era romance if you want sweet, honest feelings and lots of memorable moments; Not for you if you prefer flashy, action-driven rom-coms like Lucas or 10 Things I Hate About You.
Pros: heartfelt teen romance; memorable ’80s energy; warm, honest moments | Cons: slow second half; uneven realism; some viewers find it boring
