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

Contemplative and romantic in the same breath

Both keep coming back to the same thing: growing up

The same mix in both: tenderness, then wit

Playful where it counts, wistful underneath

Both lean on stillness more than on drama
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Romantic romance in both cases

Comedy built on tenderness, twice over

Witty drama, and it commits to that

Romance with a pulse of play, in both cases

Both lean on wistfulness more than on comedy

Another one that scratches it
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than The Graduate does
