Overview

Hudson Milbank is a successful Hollywood screenwriter who suddenly and strangely finds himself without any emotional feelings. He tries doctor after doctor and shrink after shrink, but nothing works. The Golf Channel, lesbian exercise classes and a dizzying variety of pills get him through the day, but don't quite solve his problem. His writing partner tries everything to get him back to normal, but it's not until Hudson meets Sara that he finds a real motivation to get better and to actually start feeling again. From the writer of Deuce Bigalow, comes NUMB, a romantic comedy following an unusual man looking for strange love.

How It Feels

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

A deadpan romantic comedy about emotional numbness that finds genuine pathos in its protagonist's disconnection from life. It's whimsical and slightly strange, grounded by the central question of what it means to feel anything at all.
