If American Graffiti hit the spot, these will too

The same mix in both: wit, then play
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

The same preoccupation in both: robbery
The difference: Easier on the stillness than American Graffiti

Romantic comedy in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to romance than American Graffiti does

Drama built on wit, twice over

Both lean on stillness more than on comedy

Playful drama, and it commits to that

Comedy with a pulse of romance, in both cases
