How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A earnest 80s fantasy where a charismatic teacher uses forbidden dance moves as a gateway to reach troubled kids, think Mr. Miyagi but with lambada and disco vibes. It's a feel-good underdog story that never quite takes itself too seriously, even when the stakes are supposedly high.
