If you loved Meet the Parents, try The Roses
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Roses has roughly 9.6× fewer votes than Meet the Parents — 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 Jay Roach, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Meet the Parents, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Roses is
Perpetual sunsets suggest perfect lives. Beneath suburban blushes, a marriage cracks as Theo’s career wilts while Ivy’s blooms. The roses in the vase should’ve been plastic.
