I was pleasantly surprised by the no-nonsense vibe of this film. It's a shame they resorted to overdoing the slapstick (e.g. Hotel foyer scene), it was funny enough without the hammy extremes. For me those are the parts that didn't age well. Other than that, a charming, upbeat film telling an important message that's unfortunately still accurate.

Solid acting performances from the ladies and good enough chemistry between the two main characters. LGBTQIA+ friendly and highlights the 'othering' that can happen in certain exclusive environments.

Overall, the comedy may not have aged well but the message is still as strong and relevant as ever. Worth a watch!
