My wife and I recently watched No Hard Feelings (2023) on Netflix. The storyline follows a young woman in dire need of money to pay the taxes on the house her late mother left her. Luckily, she stumbles upon an intriguing offer - a new car in exchange for a rendezvous with a young man before he heads off to college. However, this task proves more challenging than expected.
Directed by Gene Stupnitsky (Good Boys), the film features Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games), Andrew Barth Feldman (Foul Play), Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Laura Benanti (The Shade) and Natalie Morales (Abby's).
This movie exceeded my expectations, offering brilliant comedic content and a compelling storyline. It boasts impressive depth and clever subplots. The acting is exceptional, with the cast nailing their characters in terms of personality, mannerisms, and dialogue. Jennifer Lawrence delivers a standout comedic performance that kept me grinning throughout. "The scene" in this film is truly jaw dropping (Jennifer Lawrence is stunning), and the movie concludes on a satisfying note.
In summary, No Hard Feelings is a refreshing and worthwhile addition to the comedy genre that I would rate a 7.5/10 and strongly recommend.
