If Raising Arizona hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: satire

The same hand behind both of them: Joel Coen
The difference: None of the dark humor that defines Raising Arizona

Witty and playful in the same breath
The difference: A 1940s film, from a different era of filmmaking

Gritty comedy in both cases


Witty crime, and it commits to that

Joel Coen directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Leans adventure where Raising Arizona does not

Both trade on play more than on being comedy
The difference: Critics were much harder on this one

Crime built on grit, twice over

Comedy with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Both trade on play more than on being crime

In the mood for more witty?
