If you loved Hausboot, try Deine, Meine, Unsere
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Melville Shavelson, and they both carry the cozy mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hausboot, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
cozy
What Deine, Meine, Unsere is
A widower with ten children marries a widow with eight; chaos follows. The new couple tries to blend their broods, mostly with shouting. The film stops just short of suggesting children are the best therapists.
