The reviews have praised the acting in this romantic comedy about a theology professor who lost his wife two years earlier and whose grieving solitude is interrupted by an attractive grad student from Romania seeking help with her conversational English.
The show is fanciful, amusing, and has all the elements of fun: compassion, confusion, romance, belligerence, deception, and a pleasant afternoon tea with a bishop.
