Film Review - No Hard Feelings (2023)

No Hard Feelings is a new comedy that stars Jennifer Lawrence as Maddie who is risking losing her house and loses her car due to not paying property taxes so one day while at her bar job she answers an ad from a wealthy couple (Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) for someone to “date” their introverted 19 year old son Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman) before he leaves for college, Maddie accepts the job and Percy is more than meets the eye.

No Hard Feelings is good fun and watching it in a cinema with a crowd reminded me of how much I missed watching a comedy on the big screen with an actual audience as opposed to watching one at home on my TV and this is a fun comedy with plenty of laughs in store.

Also Jennifer Lawrence is in full on movie star mode and she takes to doing a comedy like a hand in a glove, she is effortlessly charming, likeable and funny and it is great to see her anchoring a movie again and she has good chemistry with Feldman as Percy as she tries to bring him out of his shell and that delivers plenty of good laughs in its own right.

And so that was No Hard Feelings and it is a fun romp that is worth watching with a crowd, 3 out of 5.
