If Spanglish hit the spot, these will too

Both are James L. Brooks's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Both are built on the same subject: mother

The same mix in both: stillness, then wit

The same preoccupation in both: parents and children

Playful where it counts, romantic underneath

Both lean on tenderness more than on drama

Comedy built on stillness, twice over

Witty romance, and it commits to that

Drama with a pulse of play, in both cases

Romantic comedy in both cases

Tender romance, and it commits to that

Drama built on stillness, twice over
