I watched this on the plane to India on the 17th of August, 2024.
I actually really loved it? I realised how many clips and screenshots of it I’d seen at one point, and still - Ryan gosling’s sheer comedy (WHEN HE SEES THE VELCRO WALLET, I was gasping for breath), his chemistry with Emma Stone, the painfully good babysitter crush, all of it.
It was very camp, and a little dated in how it showed the wife, but the comedy and the emotion shone through. The character development was really good.
I also liked the bit at the end where the babysitter gave the boy the pictures. It was a little hmmmm, but as a plot point it was perfectly turned.
Good Romcom Vibes.
