How It Feels

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

A campy, deliberately over-the-top musical romance that affectionately parodies 1950s teen rebellion movies with exaggerated performances and a winking sense of humor. It's a buoyant candy-colored romp that invites you to have fun with its artifice rather than believe in its melodrama.
