If you loved The Princess Diaries, try Frankie and Johnny
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Frankie and Johnny has roughly 8.2× fewer votes than The Princess Diaries — 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 Garry Marshall, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Princess Diaries, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Frankie and Johnny is
Two ex-cons and a diner walk into a breakup. A fried egg short-order cook tries his hand at love at Gotham’s greasiest corner. The script sticks to the griddle, flipping predictable patties.
