If you loved The Great Gilly Hopkins, try The Chaperone

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 Stephen Herek, and they sit in Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Great Gilly Hopkins, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Chaperone is

Here's a film that understands the inherent comedy of parole. Ray, a former driver, must now wrangle a gaggle of teens on a school trip to avoid former associates seeking revenge. It's a scenario that perhaps only exists in cinema, but there you have it.
