In recent years some people have come out and critisized how Hollywood is using young(er) women with old(er) men. If you didn't know any better you'd think this was a new trend in movies - especially the romantic comedies. Not all of them mind you. But you had quite a few cases that were used as examples. Like Will Smith and Margot Robbie to name one (of course there was also Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones in the late 90s) ... but this isn't anything new ... as this movie clearly shows us.
I mention this for anyone who has issues with that .. issue. Because the age gap here is quite significant. That is one of the things that may throw you off ... the other one being the musical nature (and dance included obviously, I mean it's Fred Astaire for Petes sake) of the movie. If you can deal with that, this is quite the decent if overly predictable effort. It is fun to watch though and it is light enough. Nothing more and nothing less
