How It Feels

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

A cheeky '80s comedy about naïveté meeting temptation, where a Midwestern kid's sexual awakening becomes entangled with his best friend's family, creating mounting social and moral complications. It's the kind of film that plays awkwardness and class anxiety for laughs while the friendships quietly fall apart.
