No Hard Feelings is a comedy romance about a 32-year-old woman who is left with no other choice but to date a 19-year-old rich recluse.
Written and directed by Gene Stupnitsky, the film is his second feature just after Good Boys which wasn't too bad. He knows how to pace his film and the shots aren't wrong. There were certain scenes that made me laugh but like the problem with most comedies, all the funny parts are in the trailer. Something I expect from Strays later this summer.
Jennifer Lawrence's makeup in this film isn't what she would normally wear so it feels off. Her acting has also taken a bit of a downturn. She has her moments of emotion and comedy but my expectations out of her are much higher.
Andrew Barth Feldman is either playing himself or doing a great job playing a recluse virgin. He was believable throughout the film, and he delivered his lines as expected. The problem with him is that he would have to have a major transformation if I were to want to see him act again because otherwise, he would just be playing the same character again.
The film made me laugh which in today's climate of comedy there isn't much to look forward to. If asked to describe the film my first reaction would be to say it's okay. It earns a B- for me.
