How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brisk, good-natured romp through Hollywood where two bumbling friends tumble from one slapstick mishap into another while chasing down the con man who duped them. It's pure visual comedy with pratfalls, chases, and anarchic energy that prioritizes laughs over logic.
