Description: On the brink
of losing her home, Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence) finds an intriguing job losing:
helicopter parents looking for someone to bring their introverted 19-year-old
son (Andrew Barth Feldman) out of his shell before college. She has one summer
to make him a man or die trying.
Review: When Maddie Barker’s car is repossessed, she can no longer work as an
Uber driver and is in danger of losing her home. She finds an ad from two overprotective
parents, asking for a girl who can bring their awkward 19-year old son Percy
out of his shell. In exchange, they promise her a car with which she can pay of
her debts to save her childhood home.
“No Hard Feelings” is
marketed as a romantic comedy. The supposed romance in this film is
cringeworthy, it feels wrong. The comedy is more present, even though that’s
not its strongest suit either. It has its moments, but it’s mainly two very opposite
people getting into awkward situations.
Jennifer Lawrence plays
Maddie. She is mess, very outspoken, really unlikeable at the start of the
film. A lot of clichés come in here. Her trying to romance a young 19-year-old
guy still feels weird, but their eventual friendship does work.
Not that great, not Lawrence’s
best work by far. But funny enough for the time being.
Rating: 2,5/ 5
