How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle college professor stumbles into an outlandish double life in this breezy 1980s comedy that embraces wild improbability over logic. It's the kind of film that runs on charm and anarchic energy rather than narrative coherence.
