If you loved Table 19, try Rocket Science

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Rocket Science has roughly 5.1× fewer votes than Table 19 — 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 Jeffrey Blitz, 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 Table 19, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
