How It Feels

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

A chaotic, deliberately ridiculous romp through nostalgia where a group of old friends tries to recapture summer camp magic from their youth, only to discover how much time and life have changed them. The comedy is broad and surreal, balancing genuine warmth about friendship with the awkwardness of trying to live in the past.

Not quite as good as the prequel limited series. A bit of a slow start, and the new characters took time away from the ones that had been established in the movie or in the prequel series. The jokes still land though, as long as you enjoy this comedy style. I do, so hooray!
