• Romance

A surprisingly tender romantic comedy unfolds as a perpetually irresponsible billionaire, shielded from consequence by his fortune, finds genuine connection with a down-to-earth nanny who challenges his self-destructive patterns. Unlike typical rom-com tropes, the film leans into the protagonist’s deeply ingrained flaws – a deliberate patheticness – creating awkward, darkly humorous scenarios fueled by his privileged detachment. The central relationship isn’t about transformation *for* the other person, but a shared descent into authentic vulnerability as both confront their own arrested development and the isolating effects of wealth and societal expectations. The humor is often barbed, and grounded in a surprisingly honest depiction of family dysfunction and the protective, but stifling, love of an overbearing mother.
