A quiet London bookseller's life becomes a whimsical, heartwarming romance with a world-famous movie star.
Romantic and feel-good, with dry wit. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Paramount+.
No surprises for a PG-13: some innuendo or implied sex and some strong language.
Our estimate: fine from about 13. Rated PG-13.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
