If you loved Kicking and Screaming, try Great Expectations
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kicking and Screaming, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Great Expectations is
A glossy update that probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Young Finn is torn between his artistic ambitions, a mysterious benefactor, and the chilly charms of a childhood crush. It's all very green and damp, like a forgotten avocado.
