If you loved The First Wives Club, try Guarding Tess

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. 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 Hugh Wilson, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The First Wives Club, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Guarding Tess is

Here we have a comedy that asks: what if someone important was also a pain? A Secret Service agent gets stuck guarding a former First Lady who drives him up the wall. The film coasts on the stars' chemistry, which is probably what the studio hoped for.
