How It Feels

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

A lighthearted fantasy-comedy about a slick dead guy teaching an awkward teenager how to believe in himself. It's the kind of film that knows exactly what it is, breezy, charming, and cheerfully unconcerned with depth.
