Jennifer Lawrence has been perfect for an R-rated comedy for quite some time. Throughout her career, she has showcased her freewheeling and uninhibited personality on talk shows and in late-night appearances. The audience has grown to love her for it. Videos of her funny moments have gone viral on YouTube, amassing millions of views.
Now, with the release of “No Hard Feelings,” Lawrence finally gets the opportunity to unleash her screwball energy on the big screen. In the film, Lawrence plays Maddie, a down-on-her-luck Uber driver who takes on a unique job. She responds to a Craigslist ad from a wealthy couple who want her to date their shy 19-year-old son and take his virginity. In return, she gets a used Buick. The setup might seem contrived, but the resulting film is more goofy and sweet than obscene. It serves as a showcase for Lawrence’s undeniable charisma.
One of Lawrence’s talents is physical comedy. Whether she’s Rollerblading with Olympian-like determination or engaging in a naked fight with bullies, she commits fully to the hilarity of the scenes. However, her performance never feels like a caricature. Lawrence infuses Maddie with a sense of pained righteousness, making her relatable and sympathetic.
“No Hard Feelings” doesn’t rely on explicit sexual encounters. Instead, it focuses on the unusual friendship that develops between Maddie and Percy, played by Andrew Barth Feldman. The film subverts the stereotypes typically found in sex comedies, portraying Maddie as a strong and determined woman, and Percy as more than just a nerdy stereotype. The film surrounds them with cartoonish characters and absurd scenarios, injecting a sense of levity and preventing the film from becoming too sentimental.
Similar to the romantic comedies of the past, “No Hard Feelings” explores the role of sex in the coming-of-age process. It delves into the societal pressure to lose one’s virginity by a certain age and questions the value of raunchiness itself. The film strikes a balance between humor and heartfelt moments, creating a charming and enjoyable experience.
Overall, “No Hard Feelings” is a great vehicle for Jennifer Lawrence to showcase her comedic talent. It’s a film that allows her to fully embrace her comedic side while delivering a fun and heartwarming story. Hopefully, Lawrence will continue to explore the genre and offer audiences more laughter in the future.
