If you loved Arthur, try Ode to Joy

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Ode to Joy has roughly 6.1× fewer votes than Arthur — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jason Winer, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Arthur, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ode to Joy is

A romantic comedy with a neurological twist tries to stay awake. Charlie’s happiness triggers narcolepsy, forcing him to dodge joy like a failed mime. Proof that love sometimes demands actual work.
