How It Feels

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

A darkly comic spiral where one man's worst day keeps getting worse, and funnier, as he tumbles from job loss and heartbreak into criminal chaos. It's a chaotic romp that finds absurd humor in cascading misfortune.

Steve Zahn generally makes anything worth watching. He's a hoot.

The plot summary and the movie posters all showcase the bank robbery aspect, which is a little weird because it's like the last fifteen minutes of the movie. Overall if you don't expect a laugh-out-loud comedy, it's a fine watch. They were going for the record for most consecutive twists in a movie though. Sometimes seven twists is enough and you don't need the eighth.
