No Hard Feelings

Jennifer Lawrence stars in the upcoming coming-of-age sex comedy 'No Hard Feelings'. Andrew Barth Feldman, Matthew Broderick, and Laura Bernanti also star.

So, the controlling mom (Laura Benanti) and pop (Matthew Broderick) once again do what they think is best for their kid (Andrew Barth Feldman): hire a broke “Have you seen these helicopter parents?” a friend remarks when they see the absurd opportunity online. The only issue?

We have a new entry in the pivotal film genre of raunchy R-rated adult comedies, with Jennifer Lawrence in Gene Stupnitsky's upcoming No Hard Feelings.

I don’t want to misrepresent the movie, but there were elements which reminded me of the Farrelly brothers, or Something About Mary. Maddie’s then tasked with seducing their shy 19-year-old son Percy (Andrew Feldman) before he goes away to college, kicking off a series of innuendo’d hijinks. “The movie reminds me of some ‘90s comedies I really used to like.

The Oscar-winning actress makes her first comedy a throwback.

In a turn of desperation, she responds to an ad placed by a couple looking for someone to date their shy 19-year-old son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), before he heads to Princeton in the fall. Lawrence’s recent roles include last year’s A24 drama Causeway, in which she stars opposite Brian Tyree Henry, and the 2021 Netflix satire Don’t Look Up that was nominated for four Oscars including best picture. The trailer shows Maddie trying to loosen Percy up by encouraging him to drink and skinny-dip.

Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence leads comedy "No Hard Feelings," which she also produces.

“I kind of covet the heartlessness that I have no doubt she had to have.” Up next, Lawrence is set to star as talent agent Sue Mengers in Paolo Sorrentino biopic “Sue.” Mengers represented stars such as Candice Bergen, Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman, Ali MacGraw, Steve McQueen, Ryan O’Neal, and Barbra Streisand. I don’t want to misrepresent the movie, but there were elements which reminded me of the Farrelly brothers, or ‘Something About Mary.’ There’s a decent amount of physical comedy, and Jennifer Lawrence is very commited to it. Lawrence promises to “date his brains out” in the interview but soon learns that Percy is “unfuckable” due to his dorkiness. “The movie reminds me of some 90’s comedies I really used to like. To her surprise, Maddie soon discovers the awkward Percy is no sure thing.

Lawrence stars as Maddie, a woman who seems to have trouble making good life decisions. In the age where comedy films are so hit and miss, this trailer genuinely had us cracking up. The Sony/Columbia pic, directed by Gene Stupnitsky from Good Boys and Bad Teacher fame, hits cinemas on June 23.

Jennifer Lawrence stars in No Hard Feelings, a raunchy comedy that's a bit like Failure to Launch, but with an actually awkward guy at its core.

Unable to pay for her childhood home, Maddie takes up an offer from a well-meaning couple: date (or “date”) their introverted and socially awkward son, Percy, and they’ll give her a used car. It’s written and directed by Gene Stupnitsky, also known for Good Boys and Bad Teacher. Lawrence plays Maddie, a disorganized woman who loses her car and thus has no way to earn income as an Uber driver.

"No Hard Feelings" also stars Andrew Feldman, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Natalie Morales, Matthew Broderick, Hasan Minhaj, Laura Benanti and Kyle Mooney. The movie is ...

The movie is directed and co-written by Ukranian Gene Stupnitsky. The task gets complicated as she "soon discovers the awkward Percy is no sure thing," It's sure to give you a laugh.

The comedy is directed by Gene Stupnitsky. Lawrence is one of the producers for the project, which also stars Matthew Broderick. Sony has released the trailer for her forthcoming movie, “No Hard Feelings.” In the film, Lawrence plays a woman named Maggie, who in order to save her home, takes a job that entails trying to seduce a shy 19-year-old.

While I wait for a spiritual successor to that Nora Ephron-penned film, though, I’m perfectly happy to take in films like the upcoming Jennifer Lawrence rom-com No Hard Feelings. Judging from its recently released trailer, No Hard Feelings seems more akin to Trainwreck or Bridget Jones's Diary than an Ephron joint, but hey, that will definitely do the trick in a pinch. I’ve been waiting what feels like a thousand Lenten seasons for a truly good romantic comedy to hit theaters, and while I’ll admit that my hopes are high, I’m also skeptical about anything ever matching the power of When Harry Met Sally, my high-water mark for the genre.
