About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an over-the-top, mid-’80s romantic farce packed with escalating disasters and broad humor; Not for you if you prefer grounded romance or subtle comedy like Only the Lonely.
Pros: big slapstick set pieces; lively lead chemistry; lots of quotable moments | Cons: very dated vibe; jokes can feel repetitive; runs out of steam
