How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A mismatched buddy comedy that throws together a black professional and a white petty criminal when a small-town police chief needs to spin a PR disaster. The film's heart lies in the friction, both comedic and pointed, that emerges from their forced partnership.
