If you loved Barbecue, try Happy 50
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Happy 50 has roughly 4.7× fewer votes than Barbecue — 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 Eric Lavaine, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Barbecue, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Happy 50 is
Here's a film that asks what could go wrong when middle-aged men go on holiday together. A cancelled flight reroutes Yves's 50th birthday celebrations to his family home in rainy Brittany, where simmering tensions soon boil over. It's not quite "eat pray love" but it is a film that exists.
