About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, witty comedy that pokes at social rules and mismatched romance, with a similar feel to Ninotchka or The Shop Around the Corner; Not for you if you want nonstop action or lots of plumbing antics.
Pros: witty class satire; charming mismatched pair; strong supporting cast | Cons: shifts from plumbing; uneven pacing; some find it dull
