About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, character-focused romantic comedy about love, identity, and community, with an old-school New York feel, similar to Cactus Flower or Roxanne; Not for you if you need big laughs or fast pacing.
Pros: warm, fuzzy romance; charming grandmother scenes; New York nostalgia | Cons: slow pace at times; some grating side characters; uneven lead chemistry
