Plot
Rose Morgan, who still lives with her mother, is a professor of Romantic Literature who desperately longs for passion in her life. Gregory Larkin, a mathematics professor, has been burned by passionate relationships and longs for a sexless union based on friendship and respect.
Sinekatalog’s take
A literature professor and a math professor try to build a marriage without passion, and love sneaks in anyway. Charming moments are weighed down by a long running time and a rather dated take on self-image. A pleasant romantic comedy for patient fans of the genre.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
