What they share

Both films are directed by Tom McCarthy, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Cobbler, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Win Win is

Tom McCarthy shepherds a wrestling team and a cash cow straight into the same fold. After Mike fakes guardianship for a troubled teen he must actually host the kid whose wrestling talent could bail him out. A plot that doubles back on itself like a bad pin.
