Review of No Hard Feelings (2023) by Exceladeogun — 12 Aug 2023
No Hard Feelings.
A story of a 32-year-old woman being contracted to date a 19-year-old boy to help him gain confidence before he leaves for college, No Hard Feelings is raunchy, funny but also uncomfortable.
The premise of this plot hinges on a very divisive topic, seeing as this wouldn't work if the genders were reversed. The movie doesn't condone the grooming qualities and also doesn't necessarily condemns it, rather it tries to portray it as a matter of fact (it's also adapted from a real-life Craigslist ad.) The tonal shift in the second half was also a little jarring.
Jennifer Lawrence unbridledly steps into her character, showing off her comedic and dramatic side. Andrew Garth Feldman also plays the awkward dork well. Most of the supporting characters have limited screen time, and not all of them are pivotal to how the story progresses, but most of them added to the comedic bits of the movie.
The movie is uneven, but the raunchy comedy in the first half mixed with the sweet comedy in the second half still makes for an enjoyable movie.
