I have no clue what genre this was trying to be. Maybe it could have worked as a crime/thriller, but it kept dipping its toes in being a rom-com, except without any romantic chemistry and without any jokes.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy road-movie romance that pairs a spoiled heiress with a car thief, spinning their mismatched circumstances into a comedy of clashing wills and unexpected connection. It's light-hearted chaos played for laughs, with genuine chemistry beneath the comedic premise.
