About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like quirky, heartfelt relationship stories and documentary-style conversations about romance, similar to Sidewalks of New York or Rosaline; Not for you if you want a tightly plotted, traditional rom-com.
Pros: charming road-trip vibe; funny interviews; sweet, offbeat tone | Cons: loose, meandering story; uneven pacing; not very plot-driven
