How It Feels

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

A buddy cop comedy that pairs an uptight straight detective with a meek gay clerk going undercover, mining tension and unexpected warmth from their clashing personalities. It's a film about tolerance and connection dressed up in 80s crime comedy.
