If you loved Michael, try Mixed Nuts

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Mixed Nuts has roughly 3.1× fewer votes than Michael — 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 Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Michael, 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.
