How It Feels

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

A pure-hearted Christmas romp where a clever kid transforms his house into an elaborate fortress of slapstick chaos, channeling childhood's dream of unguarded autonomy into spectacular home-defense comedy. It's gleeful mayhem with a warm heart.
