If you loved Slums of Beverly Hills, try The Savages

What they share

Both films are directed by Tamara Jenkins, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Slums of Beverly Hills, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
