How It Feels

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

A scrappy teen comedy about a surfer trying to escape his chaotic family through college, populated by well-meaning bumbling and small-town absurdity. It's charming in its earnestness even as everything goes hilariously wrong.
