A teen-age girl conceals her insecurity behind a barrage of jokes — until she meets an aspiring comedian who asks for her help with his new act. Janet is an over-weight girl who has a knack for making the other children in school laugh... by making fun of her own weight. In seeing the other kids' reactions, she feels that she might have what it takes to be a comedian. She visits the local comedy club where she finds Tony Moroni who is a struggling comedian whose jokes are less than funny. Together Tony helps Janet find self-esteem and Janet helps Tony with his material.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle after-school special about a girl using humor as armor and finding real friendship through shared creative struggle. It's tender and earnest, with the awkwardness and sincerity of early-80s TV drama.
