About
You may enjoy this if you like offbeat, bittersweet relationship stories with messy choices and a swinging-60s edge, somewhat like About a Boy or Breakfast at Tiffany's; Not for you if you want a purely upbeat romance or clear-cut heroes.
Pros: catchy theme song; strong lead performance; bittersweet humor | Cons: uneven tone shifts; thin character depth; dated attitudes linger
