In a dating landscape determined to make you obsessed with abiding by a set of rules, present the shiniest version of you before they can get closer, developing a story of a woman who’s fallen in love with a man who’s, inadvertently, validated all sides of her is such an insightful commentary on what we all long for: someone invested, no matter what.
Also, while I get Kaley Cuoco as an actor is not for everyone, I think she bodied this role. Not in physical comedy, but in energy it’s teetering on a Lucille Ball level of frantic that has to remain burning for quite awhile. Sheila is not the type of female lead we often see in romcoms, and so Cuoco having to pull from such a singular place IS impressive. Sue me.
