How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleeful Jekyll-and-Hyde romp where a shy professor becomes his dashing alter ego to win over a woman, with comedy springing from the chaos of his potion wearing off at precisely the wrong moments. It's a light-hearted fantasy that plays the transformation for both laughs and genuine pathos.
