How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately ridiculous comedy that asks what happens when a wealthy man-child has to go back to elementary school, playing it completely straight while everything around him gets progressively more absurd. It's silly, surprisingly earnest, and endearingly dumb.
