How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gloriously weird musical-superhero comedy where a washed-up hero stumbles through a redemption arc with one foot in the bottle and both eyes firmly planted in absurdity. It's pure '80s camp: earnest, strange, and genuinely fun in ways that feel both intentional and delightfully accidental.
