How It Feels

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

A chaotic improv comedy wrapped in a murder-mystery package where the investigation itself is gloriously messier and funnier than any plot resolution. It's comedy first, mystery a distant second, perfect if you like watching smart people purposefully flounder.

I love Jason Bateman and Will Arnett together. It starts off super funny, especially with Jason Bateman doing the Gob Bluth chicken and "You dragged Sean Hayes into this?!" It loses a little steam in the middle, and I don't think it benefitted from throwing Pete Davidson into the mix at the end, but they do a Weekend at Bernies with Sean Hayes in a Santa suit. Easy breezy festive watch for my lunch break!
