About
You’ll likely enjoy this rom-com if you want a breezy long-distance setup with frequent laughs and relationship banter, but Not for you if foul language and crude humor turn you off, or if you prefer sweeter, cleaner rom-coms like A Lot Like Love and Like Crazy.
Pros: laugh-out-loud moments; likable leads; romantic long-distance premise | Cons: crude/foul humor; uneven comedy; plot confusion
