How It Feels

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

A scrappy, sentimental comedy about two down-on-their-luck con artists who unexpectedly soften the heart of a wealthy lawyer, discovering that family comes in unconventional forms. It trades in feel-good charm and fairy-tale logic rather than realism.
