About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like low-key, character-focused New York comedies about guilt, generosity, and messy relationships, in the vein of Enough Said or Friends with Money; Not for you if you want big laughs or a fast, twisty story.
Pros: sharp, relatable characters; wry NYC humor; thoughtful moral questions | Cons: light on plot; slow, meandering pace; humor can feel muted
