This was unusual enough to be interesting throughout, despite it having a pretty seemingly innocuous hook for the plot. It doesn't really go deep enough into anything it broaches, but it does manage to hit on the casual, unintentional ways people hurt others, and the reactions from those that sometimes make sense, other times are nonsense, based on patterns people often aren't aware of.
There's quite a few good comedic beats, pulling off tonal shifts most comedies these days simply fail at. It's more interested in failures of communication than something substantive, as mentioned, so it did become a bit of a let down as far as character work. It's why I don't think really any comedic works have ever really resonated with me. Still, better than most, I think.
