I can't say it's a good movie, but honestly I laughed out loud enough times that I would watch it again. There are a lot of dumb things, but sometimes that's okay.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fish-out-of-water comedy about generational and class clashes when a working dad meets his daughter's wealthy, eccentric boyfriend. It's the kind of film that mines humor from discomfort and miscommunication, leaning heavily on the contrast between two men who couldn't be more different.
