Jennifer Lawrence is set to dazzle audiences with her latest film, No Hard Feelings, which is hitting theaters on June 23. The R-rated sex-comedy marks Lawrence’s first acting role since her 2021 disaster comedy, Don’t Look Up, and it’s clear that she’s returning to her raunchy and comedic roots. After rising to fame with her critically acclaimed performance in Winter’s Bone, Lawrence has consistently delivered stand-out performances in blockbuster franchises like The Hunger Games and Oscar-worthy films like The Silver Linings Playbook.
In No Hard Feelings, Lawrence stars as Maddie Barker, a Montauk, New York Uber driver who finds herself in a precarious financial situation when her car is repossessed. Desperate to turn her fortunes around, Maddie answers an unusual Craigslist ad and becomes the temporary girlfriend of a 19-year-old man named Percy, who is struggling to find his footing in the adult world. As Maddie navigates this new arrangement, she finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of chaos and hijinx alongside Percy and his parents, played by Andrew Barth Feldman, Matthew Broderick, and Laura Benanti.
The red band trailer for No Hard Feelings has given audiences an extended look at the comedy, showcasing Lawrence’s return to form as a sharp-witted and quick-witted comedic talent. The film’s premise is reminiscent of classic coming-of-age comedies like Risky Business and Weird Science, but No Hard Feelings takes a unique approach by focusing on the perspective of the hired hand and giving viewers a look into her chaotic and unstable life.
Directed by Gene Stupnitsky and written by Stupnitsky and John Philips, No Hard Feelings is a promising return to form for Jennifer Lawrence. With its blend of raunchy humor, witty banter, and comedic chaos, the film is shaping up to be the perfect summer comedy. Fans of Lawrence can now buy tickets for the film on Fandango’s website, giving them a chance to experience her return to her raunchy and comedic roots on the big screen.
