How It Feels

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

A lighthearted comedy about a nerdy teen who reinvents himself by learning to be cool from a prison inmate, then navigating high school with his new persona intact. It's a breezy, high-energy romp that doesn't take itself seriously.
