Films like The Heartbreak Kid.

The Heartbreak Kid (2007) reads as Cosy, kinetic, gentle comedy / romance, inventive in texture. Redemptive, intimate, tender. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
