About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sweet, breezy comedy about friendship, dating, and reinvention later in life; Not for you if you dislike cringey sex jokes, broad rom-com clichés, or a thin premise like in Queen Bees.
Pros: warm friendship focus; upbeat older-women theme; light romantic laughs | Cons: clichéd story beats; uneven humor; silly setup
