The Plot Thickens

In this captivating comedy, Lawrence takes on the role of Maddie, a bartender whose life takes an unexpected turn when she's hired by a wealthy couple to 'date' their shy and socially awkward son, Percy, before he embarks on his college adventure. The film struck a chord with audiences, grossing over $87 million at the box office against a budget of around $45 million. Lawrence’s portrayal earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress, adding yet another notch to her impressive career.

“On the brink of losing her childhood home, Maddie discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to ‘date’ their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, before he leaves for college. To her surprise, Maddie soon discovers the awkward Percy is no sure thing.”

A Talented Ensemble Cast

Directed by Gene Stupnitsky, the film showcases a talented ensemble cast alongside Lawrence, including Andrew Barth Feldman as Percy, Matthew Broderick, Natalie Morales, Laura Benanti, and Kyle Mooney. The screenplay, co-written by Stupnitsky and John Phillips, adds layers of humor and warmth to the unconventional storyline. Behind the scenes, Lawrence also took on the role of producer, collaborating with Justine Ciarrocchi, Alex Saks, Naomi Odenkirk, and Marc Provissiero to bring this project to life.

Fans of Lawrence and offbeat comedies are sure to find No Hard Feelings a delightful addition to their HBO Max watchlist, promising both laughs and heartfelt moments in equal measure.
