If you loved Life Stinks, try High Anxiety

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

Both films are directed by Mel Brooks, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Life Stinks, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What High Anxiety is

San Francisco. Foghorns. A skyward glance. Doctor Thorndyke, vertiginous shrink, arrives to helm an asylum rife with oddballs and furtive staff. Something rotten in the state of California. Brooks throws a Hitchcock party, and everyone's invited.
