How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gruff sports comedy that finds genuine heart in watching a washed-up quarterback help a ragged group of inmates discover their own worth through football. It's equal parts laugh-out-loud fun and earnest feel-good uplift.
