How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A witty, high-spirited romp through the logic and mischief of brilliant young minds outsmarting authority. It's fundamentally about the joy of being smart and using that intelligence to have fun while doing the right thing.
