How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fish-out-of-water romp that's as much about cultural collision and self-discovery as it is about winning a woman's heart. It moves fast, stays sunny, and finds genuine warmth beneath all the absurd comedy.
