Lawrence flexes her comedy muscles in both her dialogue and physical comedy, taking some bold swings with some of the things she does on screen, and it pays off extremely well.
Ultimately, No Hard Feelings is the story of two people who are afraid of life for different reasons, and how they help each other lose that fear. I’ve heard complaints that it sacrifices filth for feelings. To those folks, I say — you can always watch “Porky’s” instead.

Love this movie. The theater was packed and there were constant laughs throughout the whole thing. Jennifer Lawrence put in an amazing performance and had great chemistry with the young dude Andrew Feldman. best comedy i've seen in a long time
Report
No Hard Feelings is a nice comedy, courting taboo here and there but largely rounded out with sweetness. It’s an amiable time at the movies—but I was hoping for more of a shock.
No Hard Feelings ends up belonging to Andrew Barth Feldman, who very soon may be one of Hollywood’s go-to leading men (following his year-long stint as the titular role in Dear Evan Hansen). Despite the script’s slightly jumbled ending, Feldman aces his character’s transformation, and finds dozens of moments to truly shine.
It’s a pleasure to find a comedy about bought sex that’s pretty funny – and funnier than the pun in the title might suggest.
While [Lawrence] is game for anything, whatever it takes to pound a laugh out of a moment, it’s not enough in a comedy that sprints out of the gate, buries us under zingers and turns all sensitive and sentimental as it pulls its punches in the second and third acts.
Every pratfall, including the naked ones, is joyless and witlessly timed.
Nice fun comedy, nothing extremely new, but still worth a watch. Also i'm glad that full frontal female nudity is finally back in modern mainstream movies. Nudity is never necessary, but it helps to fight against people who have strong agendas against female nudity in mainstream movies, basically people who love to censor everything. Censorship ruins artistic freedom and creativity. There used to be time where after years of censorship movies finally broke boundaries and had full frontal female nudity, some examples would be The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), Ex Machina (2014) and Inherent Vice (2014), but sadly after 2016 activists started to censor everything again. Hopefully No Hard Feelings is first step into right direction and in the future more movies are able to be as artistic as they want.

It was a nice movie, but for me I disliked some parts or some found not that funny (this was a comedy), plus what mainly lowered the rating for me was the ending and how it let me down a bit as I expected something more interesting, less predictable and less rushed. Anyway decent movie, but not my favorite and mainly memorable for that beach scene

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.
6/10

The premise of the movie, that a person in their thirties needs to seduce a teenager, was a huge miss for me. Much of the comedy of the movie depends on one being more or less OK with the the situation, so I simply couldn't connect with it. If there was any chemistry between the leads, it was buried by the inherent inappropriate nature of the relationship itself. I just felt bad for the kid, the whole time.
They could have easily went with a smaller age gap and completely removed the awkward set up. I'm not sure how this movie is even greenlit, with the current discourse around grooming. It absolutely never would have been greenlit, were the genders of the leads reversed, and justifiably so.
