If you loved Chaussure à son pied, try Des garçons épatants
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Curtis Hanson, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Chaussure à son pied, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Des garçons épatants is
A disheveled academic tries to outrun his own decaying reputation. His weekend spirals into chaos with a stolen emu and a protégé’s spectacular manuscript. Toss in a dead dog and you’ve got a comedy of errors masquerading as a tenure-track tragedy.
