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.
