Pretty good but rests largely on the charm of Sam Rockwell, which luckily is ENDLESS.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warm, gently funny summer tale about a shy teenager finding confidence and belonging through an unlikely friendship. It's the kind of film that lingers in the way a good summer memory does, small, genuine, and deeply comforting.
