How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A goofy, big-hearted Christmas romp that leans hard into slapstick charm and the pure earnestness of believing in Santa's magic. Ernest's relentless good nature and physical comedy drive a feel-good adventure that prioritizes heart over coherence.
