How It Feels

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

A gloriously unhinged buddy comedy that careens between lowbrow slapstick and weirdly sincere character moments, treating a hook-handed conman and an innocent Amish bowling prodigy with equal affection and mockery.
