The premise of a librarian with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder living with a vibrant girl is ripe for both comedy and drama, and while the film has its moments, it sometimes feels a bit uneven. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, yet the script occasionally falters in pacing, leaving some scenes feeling drawn out.

Overall, it’s a decent watch for a lazy afternoon, but don’t expect a groundbreaking cinematic experience. Show less
