How It Feels

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

A lighthearted battle-of-wills comedy where a free-spirited woman and her fiancé's overbearing mother engage in escalating schemes and sabotage. It's the kind of film that runs on charm, comedic timing, and the satisfaction of watching two strong personalities clash, and eventually understand each other.
