How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A cheerful, slapstick spin on the Cinderella fairy tale where Jerry Lewis transforms a classic into absurdist comedy gold. It's buoyant, silly fun with musical numbers and pratfalls that appeal to the whole family.
