How It Feels

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

A goofy romantic comedy-thriller that mines genuine laughs from the premise of accidentally falling in love with a potential serial killer. It's silly and charming in equal measure, with Mike Myers doing heavy comedic lifting as a neurotic guy whose worst nightmares might actually be coming true.

"That's from Full House." - Me when anything is set in San Francisco

This was a lot funnier than I was expecting. I love everything with the cop friend and his boss, and I love "You know what this place needs? A large, oversized poster of Atlantic City." If I had seen this when I was younger, it would have been a movie I spent my life quoting.
