There were so many A+++ moments in this (my millennial heart was soaring reading all of the Rugrats and Wild Thornberrys references), and I really enjoyed this premise for fake dating in a contemporary. I also really appreciated the discussions of Max's Jewish faith and cultural practices and the constant microaggressions Jewish folks deal with, particularly during the holiday season. I only wish we had more time in the third act and an opportunity to really resolve questions of Brooklyn's safety, mental health, career goals, etc. I was a bit torn up worrying about her and wanting more for her personally, too!
Graphic: Misogyny, Sexual harassment
Moderate: Sexual content, Antisemitism
