If The Graduate hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: growing up, graduate
The difference: 29 years apart, and the 1990s show

Both keep coming back to the same thing: growing up
The difference: Not nearly as contemplative as The Graduate

Contemplative and romantic in the same breath

Both land tenderness and wit at once

One thread runs through both: wedding

Common ground: older woman younger man relationship

Los Angeles shapes both of them

The same mix in both: play, then wistfulness

Drama built on stillness, twice over

Romantic romance, and it commits to that

Comedy with a pulse of tenderness, in both cases

Both lean on wit more than on drama
In the mood for more contemplative?
