Jennifer Lawrence slams controversial film ‘No Hard Feelings’ as ‘offensive and morally bankrupt’
Prepare to be entertained as Jennifer Lawrence unleashes her comedic prowess in the R-rated comedy “No Hard Feelings,” hitting theaters this Friday.
The Oscar-winning actress fearlessly dives into slapstick humor, delivering laughs as she kicks through doors, endures throat punches, and combats beach thieves in the nude.
Renowned for her dramatic performances in “Winter’s Bone” and “The Hunger Games” series, Lawrence reveals that previous comedic scripts never met her humor standards.
“It was a blast,” says Lawrence, who’s also tasked with climbing a flight of stairs on rollerblades. “If you see a shot of me rollerblading up a hill, that means I rollerbladed up that hill like, 12 times. That was the most exercise I’ve had in a long time.”
However, everything changed when she came across “No Hard Feelings,” where she portrays Maddie, a financially strained Uber driver whose car falls victim to impoundment.
Facing the imminent loss of her deceased mother’s house, Maddie finds herself in a precarious situation when she responds to a Craigslist advertisement posted by a well-to-do couple. Their unusual proposition? To “date” their socially awkward 19-year-old son, Percy (played by Andrew Barth Feldman), as a pre-college experience.
In a desperate bid to secure a car, Maddie cautiously embraces the unconventional arrangement. The film takes inspiration from an actual Craigslist post stumbled upon by one of the producers, weaving a captivating narrative loosely based on true events.
“I read it and was like, ‘Who are the parents that put this out, and who’s the woman who answers this?’ “ says director Gene Stupnitsky, Lawrence’s longtime friend, who’d been searching for a comedy they could make together. “Anyone who’s ever seen an interview with her knows how funny she is. She’s really put through the paces in this movie, but … everything she does is 100%.”
Natalie Morales (“Parks and Recreation”), who plays Maddie’s bartender friend Sara, echoes Stupnitsky’s praise: “I’ve always wanted to work with Jen. She’s so talented.”
