If you loved The Secret of My Success, try Boys on the Side

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 Herbert Ross, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Secret of My Success, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Boys on the Side is

Herbert Ross directs this road trip movie, and you can tell. A trio of women with very different personalities drive from New York to Los Angeles. They overcome various challenges, mostly of the sitcom variety, along the way. It's a film that exists.
