It's definitely not the raunchy comedy promised by its trailers and initial premise, although those moments are there but No Hard Feelings is a surprisingly sweet comedy that has enough laughs and predictably satisfying arcs throughout the course of it's run time to remain a really entertaining watch.
Jennifer Lawrence is great, more than capable of covering all the grounds the role requires and even makes the more emotional moments that could feel out of place actually work. Andrew Barth Feldman is also great, his awkwardness never becomes annoying, instead its always endearing and funny.
Gene Stupnitsky's direction is really good, making sure the central premise never gets uncomfortable in undesired ways, adding some clever inversions for a few memorable jokes and keeping the film light on its feet thanks to a couple of montages as well.

This movie is so bizarre, I don't even really know what to think of it. It's an absurd sex comedy that turns into a rom-com and ends as a Hallmark movie about friendship. It's super-uncomfortable to watch, but entertaining in trashy, 80's kind of way. You know, back when a 32-year-old being sexually inappropriate with a naive high school student could be considered hilarious. Think Porky's or Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
I have no idea why someone as talented and famous as Jennifer Lawrence would want to appear in this movie, let alone star in it and romp around naked for several minutes, but she does a good job and seems to be having fun. More power to her, I guess?

No Hard Feelings is a pretty entertaining but unspectacular comedy. It will be sure to produce some good laughs, but the story is a little too paper thin and the characters a little too 2-dimensional for it to truly impress.
It follows Jennifer Lawrence as 32 year old Maddie, who finds herself embroiled in a scheme to save her house by 'dating' a 19 year old at the behest of his parents.
It's not the worst set up I've ever seen in a comedy, but it's not great either. Saying this, it does allow for plenty of comedic scenarios and is actually a pretty funny film, with numerous laugh out loud moments.
As well as being funny it boasts two brilliant lead performances. Jennifer Lawrence is always brilliant so it's no surprise that she steals the show. I'd never even heard of Andrew Barth Feldman before, but he really shines in his role and plays it to perfection. The supporting cast is minimal, so it really is all about the two terrific performances from these two.
My real gripe is with the plot. I don't think the emotional elements resonated as the characters are too poorly fleshed out. When the film gets bogged down in the emotional beat it slows down the pacing too much. I just didn't find myself getting invested in any of the characters, the outcome of the story (mostly because it was very predictable), or the emotional journey of it all.
If you're looking for a late night comedy that will be sure to get you laughing, No Hard Feelings should do the trick. I highly doubt it will go down as a classic of the genre, but it does its job well enough.

No Hard Feelings (2023) is a raunchy comedy that, while it may initially seem to be heading for the typical, outrageous path of adult humor, surprisingly veers towards a safer route. It's a film that entices you with its unapologetic humor and then surprises you with its turns toward heartfelt moments.
Jennifer Lawrence stands out in this film in a genre often dominated by male performances. Her comedic chops are impeccable, with her delivering lines that will have you laughing out loud. One memorable scene involves her character at a disastrous dinner party where everything that can go wrong, does - her reactions alone are worth the price of admission.
But it's not all laughs. Lawrence flexes her dramatic muscles too, proving that she has an impressive range as an actress. A poignant scene where she confronts her past showcases her ability to seamlessly transition from comedy to drama. It's a testament to her versatility and reinforces her stature as one of Hollywood's most talented actresses.
"No Hard Feelings" is a film that guarantees extreme laughs along the way. It strikes a balance between funny and heartfelt, making it a must-watch for fans of R-rated comedy that's got a bit of soul.
In a cinematic landscape where films tend to be overproduced, overextended, and overplayed, "No Hard Feelings" is a breath of fresh air. It's a film that knows its strengths and plays to them without trying to be more than it is. With a 90-minute run time, it's a concise, well-paced film that doesn't overstay its welcome.
However, the film isn't without its faults. Its predictability can be a bit of a letdown, and the sentimental ending, while touching, feels somewhat out of place in the raunchy comedy. The final act, in particular, feels forced in its attempt to pull the film out of a predictable tailspin.
Despite these minor flaws, "No Hard Feelings" is a film worth watching. It's a testament to Jennifer Lawrence's range as an actress, delivering plenty of laughs along the way. Its mix of humor and heart makes it a worthy addition to the genre.

Rich parents hire a 32 year old woman to date their 19 year old son.
No Hard Feelings is a light hearted wholesome entertainer. If you are expecting a laugh your head off comedy, this is not it. But it is a good film to watch, I promise.
I heard the film got controversial because of the age difference between the characters. Why so serious? If you are one of those who stood against the idea of an older woman dating a younger boy, then don't watch this film. It will be hurtful for you.
I personally enjoyed it. Predictable but also enjoyable. A perfect movie to watch on weekends with your friends to pass time.

Bit surprised at the low score on Imdb, as I would give this a solid 7.5/10
This is a really well acted romcom, Lawrence and Feldman add chemistry and depth,to what would otherwise, be a rather thin story.
If you like a romcoms like Pretty Woman, Notting Hill etc, this is for you.
No hard feelings, has a consistent pace and feel.
It may not be the best romcom ever made but, it's certainly good entertainment with it's own charm.
What I would call a nice Sunday matinee film .
Not much else to say but have to make up the required quota of characters.
Would I watch it again, yes, I think I would give it another viewing.

Gene Stupnitsky continues his trend in giving us these funny, raunchy and at times touching movies. No Hard Feelings however seems more Dramedy than straight up Comedy. Now, that doesn't mean it wasn't fun. It had its moments that the theater was just bursting in laughter. Then there were moments where the tone shifts to a more serious one and that allowed Jennifer Lawrence's performance to shine. There was more of that serious tone than I was expecting.
I thought I was going to see something to the level of Good Boys but instead it was a bit more drama with various funny moments. Which again was not bad. Some were over the top but that's to be expected with these types of movies. For example there's a beach scene that completely took it to another level. There's a small sample of it in the trailer but the entire scene completely caught me off guard and it's hilarious when you realize that you have an Oscar winning actress doing all of it. Fun flick.

I lasted 30 minutes. Tacky American humour, lacks even the basic level of intelligence and sophistication. Jennifer Lawrence's character was plain annoying and unlikeable, the premise boring and unimaginative, the jokes not even humorous. Though I didnt get into it far, the only redeaming and likeable character was the shelter former drug dog addicted to cocaine....and even thats not original.
Why Lawrence and the calibre of what she is capable of took this role is beyond me. Annoying to have started watching this expecting a reasonably decent standard of acting and story, only to be met with a mediocre excuse for comedy.
Do yourself a favour and don't waste your time. Go watch something thats not an insult to your intelligence.

This film reminds me of the 2000s. This kind of genre which they hardly release in cinemas anymore.
Apparently its based on a craiglist ad which means that the story is not outlandish, the ad actually happened in real life ! Nevertheless I enjoyed this movie.very funny and its nice to see Jennifer Lawrence show off her comedic chops.
I think the age gap is not a big deal at all. They have been making films with way older men and way younger women since Hollywood existed so why is it a problem that the women is older? They both have great chemistry ! Highly recommend this film if you want some laughs with a bit of a heartfelt story!

I had high hopes for this when I first saw the trailer and I'm very glad I watched it.
Jennifer Lawrence was hilarious in this and you can tell she had an absolute blast making this. She stole every scene she was in and some of the delivery of her lines were brilliant. There were many funny moments throughout, some raunchy and some cringy but in a good way.
What I wasn't expecting was there to be a few heartfelt moments so much so that it felt rather drama like. It didn't happen all that much so it's still a comedy but when it did happen, it sometimes worked with the story but other times felt like it was dragging abit.
Is it as funny as other raunchy comedy's like superbad and the 40 year old virgin? No but it's definitely close to those. A must watch!

Jennifer Lawrence is my absolute favorite but this movie was such a let down. My daughter and I went to this movie. She just graduated from high school last month. At one point she looked at me and ask, "Mom, if I was really shy, would you ever pay a 32 year old man to have s3x with me to prepare me for college????" I looked at her like she was nuts and told her that's disgusting. She agreed. And her point was very clear.
From that moment on, all I could think about was how creepy and gross the message of this movie is. It's toxic and desperately tried normalize a situation that is anything but normal.

No Hard Feelings is a refreshing mix of humor and heart, offering a smart, funny take on the classic sex comedy. The film effortlessly blends raunchy humor with genuine character development, making it more than just a laugh-out-loud experience. The performances are spot-on, with the lead delivering a standout portrayal that keeps the audience engaged throughout. While it leans into some familiar comedic tropes, the sharp writing and clever dialogue elevate it beyond the typical genre fare. It's a playful ride that manages to hit the right notes of humor while also offering a surprising amount of emotional depth. Perfect for fans of comedy that don't mind a little edge and heart.
When I saw the trailer for this 2023 comedy earlier this year, I was thinking what a letdown for Jennifer Lawrence to go from the subtle heartbreak of "Causeway" to what looked like a raunchy, flat-out fratboy-humor farce. However, I watched it and actually liked the raunchy, flat-out fratboy-humor because director and co-writer Greg Stupnitsky showcases Lawrence's considerable comedy chops with dexterity. She's hilariously inappropriate as Maddie, a down-on-her-luck woman who answers a Craigslist ad to increase the sexual confidence of Percy, the socially awkward 19-year-old son of wealthy helicopter parents. Lawrence throws herself into the role with pure abandon, and her no-holds-barred talk-show persona comes to the fore. The beach scene where she takes back her clothes was a genuine riot. Surprisingly where the film fell short was the third act when the story softens and loses some of its edge. Andrew Barth Feldman is quite good as Percy who reacts appropriately to Maddie's shenanigans. Better than I expected.
Jennifer Lawrence makes this average script come alive on screen. Although it is a fun movie to watch, it could have been so much more than what it is. This movie was a huge missed opportunity in my opinion. What could have been an unique and interesting angle to look at introverts' psychology turns into Hollywood cliches and a predictable story. Nonetheless it is a good watch for Jennifer Lawrence fans and anyone who is looking for a lighthearted dramedy. Unfortunately I fear that this movie is going to become a forgotten product in a few years as it fails to stand out as a comedy or as a drama.
Movie starts m ore of the raunchy side, almost as a sex comedy. Then in turns into romantic comedy. Then into Hallmark tale. In the end each part does what it's supposed to do and end result isn't bad.
The comedic parts deliver their fair share of jokes, as suited to their respective genres and manage to surprise with some unexpected humour. In that regard they bend the tropes, but never end up breaking them. Situations people find themselves in tend to be fairly predictable to anybody who saw a few of similar movies, but manage to provide enough twists and fresh takes on them to make them entertaining.
Over quite watchable movie, but not really something you'd want to watch more than once.

This was an ok comedy, Is weird seeing Jennifer Lawrence on a different role and on something different especially a comedy like this, especially coming from her Hunger Games Movies that's how long I haven't seen her in movies, Yes the movie is funny, stupid and has some pretty grouchy scenes that you wouldn't believe that Jennifer would do in a movie, but then the movie sometimes gets Awkard and not funny at the those moments and I feel like the 2 main leads try too hard to display their roles on those Awkard moments, other than that it was funny it made me laugh, I enjoyed it, the movie had its moments but it payed off at the end with great acting by Jennifer Lawrence and I enjoyed her on seeing her on something different. I give " No Hard Feelings" a 7 out of 10 Stars.

I was almost shocked watching this movie. It was a thoughtless premise that was so dumb I almost turned it off multiple times, but the love I have for Jennifer Lawrence had me patiently waiting for the story line to pick up. I can't even imagine a team of people sitting around reading a scrip this bad and going yeah great idea guys ! Is Jennifer Lawrence hurting for money ? Was she forced to do this ? Y'all we need to check on her safety because I don't think this was a sane choice by her...... I never even write reviews for movies, this was actually just that bad that I had to say something
...........zzzzZzZz horrible.
...........zzzzZzZz horrible.
Clearly this gal can do anything, and seeing her in a full-on comedy film enabled her to show her true comedic chops, and she certainly has those. I always found her hilarious in real life - in interviews, segments, etc, and found her to have a down to earth comedic personality, so it's about time she was her true self in a film. The story itself is nothing we haven't seen before, but all casting and performances were spot on, as was the directing, cinematography and score. The pacing was perfect in that the 103 min runtime flew by. There were many laugh out loud moments, especially from Lawrence's antics, and that's what made this film that much more enjoyable. In addition to the comedy, there are some heart warming moments that added that extra touch to this film. I'd have no problem watching this again, especially with some friends, weekend beverages and our brains turned off.

It's OK. That's all. Not awful. Not fabulous. Just OK
It's quite funny in parts although nowhere near funny enough. And quite poignant in places, although never really heartbreaking.
Jennifer Lawrence is good, playing a role that suits her down to the ground. The nerdy guy is also good even though he looks like the chef from Ratatouille.
One of the problems that the movie has is the portrayal of male characters. All of them were either, nerdy, stupid, needy, wimpy, soft and distinctly unlike any man I have ever met in my life. Maybe they only have men like that in Montauk, or Hollywood.
Could have been better.

I think Jennifer Lawrence could find her place in comedy as she is surprisingly funny in almost every scene of this movie, and, to be honest, she is quite stunning. A lot of people find the story "creepy" but I think she can pull this off and the story doesn't really go into creepy area. The main guy is not a minor, there is some age difference but it still doesn't go into creepy, it's still a comedy. And it's quite funny. It's kind of unrealistic though, and sadly, most other characters are not very funny, JLaw practically carries the whole movie. The young man in main role is a good actor and his character, strangely enough, is not annoying as you could imagine. There are a lot of weird, uncomfortable situation in this movie, but it kind of works.
Sure, the premise is unrealistic, but it's a movie. Comedies are usually not realistic at all. And not every single movie has to be super PC.
