How It Feels

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

A theatrical screwball comedy where an outrageously rude Broadway critic's extended stay disrupts the orderly life of a Midwestern family, creating mounting chaos from his narcissism and manipulations. It's witty, fast-paced, and relentlessly funny about the collision between sophistication and small-town values.
