If you loved Julie & Julia, try Mixed Nuts
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Mixed Nuts has roughly 10.1× fewer votes than Julie & Julia — 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 Nora Ephron, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Julie & Julia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mixed Nuts is
Nora Ephron steers toward farce. A hapless fellow and his associates run a crisis hotline that predictably goes haywire on Christmas Eve. It's a reminder that some comedies are better off left unopened.
