How It Feels

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

A spirited ensemble romp through New York's dating scene that balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine heart about finding yourself before finding someone else. It's a feel-good celebration of friendship and self-discovery wrapped in romantic comedy charm.

This is my version of a stacked cast. I'll always love Dakota Johnson and her limes. Jason Mantzoukas is my favorite scene-stealing support character here.

Everyone's characters works for me except Rebel Wilson's. It's a little more subdued than when she plays the character in other things, but it just doesn't mesh with the rest as well. Not a knock on her, it was written that way.

Fun and easy watch. Enough laugh out loud moments to make this something I'd watch again. I'll buy the blu-ray if I can find it for $5 or less.
