Reviews
Some nice one-liners and a bit of good scenery help the story of a whirlwind romance that turns to salt when she later joins him Stateside.
Like the relationship it depicts, everything goes terribly slack in the middle.
Um roteiro divertido que inova ao investir em um casal de protagonistas mais maduro do que o habitual.
Since the stories are none too startling, it's hard to see why these otherwise bright people should be so enthusiastic about boring themselves.
