How It Feels

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

A scrappy, warmhearted comedy about working-class men in post-industrial Sheffield finding dignity and camaraderie through an outrageous scheme. It's funny and touching in equal measure, with real heart beneath the laughs.

I'm having trouble reconciling that the lead is Rumplestiken from Once Upon a Time.

Although I didn't find it especially funny, I appreciate that it was surprisingly progressive for 1997 and included a lot of social issues. I liked the audition sequence and the final dance.
