How It Feels

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

A gleefully chaotic screwball comedy where a botched murder-for-hire spirals into increasingly ridiculous consequences. It's all breakneck pacing and absurdist humor, played with theatrical energy and practical mayhem.

the direction is so over the top but it feels as if the different styles of film making in allot of scenes clash which creates an uneven film.
the comedy is boring and its not the characters that drive the comedy, the comedy drives the characters and thats most of the time very lame.
