If you loved Too Big to Fail, try Wonder Boys
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 Curtis Hanson, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Too Big to Fail, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Wonder Boys is
A disheveled academic tries to outrun his own decaying reputation. His weekend spirals into chaos with a stolen emu and a protégé’s spectacular manuscript. Toss in a dead dog and you’ve got a comedy of errors masquerading as a tenure-track tragedy.
