"Tone, tone, tone. Even in the most touching moments, the movie never strays from the ridiculousness of Dustin Hoffman in panty hose, pancake makeup, a wig, and an exquisite Southern accent. And the heartfelt desperation of an out-of-work actor adds a perfectly acidic zing into what could have been a syrupy rom-com."

"For when you need a sweet-hearted com-rom This book is an unlikely all-time favorite of mine—and it’s a study in emotional courage. The hero of this story just tries so hard. He gets it wrong over and over...but he never gives up. It’s a story that makes me laugh and genuinely cry every time."

"This novel is the queer rom-com of my dreams. The Prince of England falling in love with the son of the US president?? AND the president is a woman?? Yes please. This book is so engaging and fun to read, and just the perfect cozy escapism from everything going on in the world right now."

"Well I think we just have to have a shout out to the rom-com genre in there and it’s a perfect example of the two, you know, really lovable, flawed characters — perfectly flawed for one another. As my grandmother used to say, “There’s a lid for every pot.” So I think that out of that genre that’s probably my favorite."
