The new sex comedy film, No Hard Feelings seems to be making some waves these days with the film doing an average run so far at the box office. Recently, Jennifer Lawrence revealed that she had always wanted to do a big comedy film similar to the ones she had done in which David O Russel was the director. While she hadn’t secured opportunities in the cult following Hollywood comedies, akin to Dumb and Dumber and Anchorman, she nevertheless had a decent body of work in the comedic domain.
However, that gap in her Hollywood acting resume now appears to have been filled with her role in No Hard Feelings in which she plays Maddie, a down and out Uber driver who is desperately trying to seduce a 19-year-old boy, so that she can get her hands on a Buick Regal, which she is in dire need of considering that she doesn’t have a car anymore after a series of goofs in her career and relationships.
What is even more hilarious which is central to the plot of the film is that it was inspired by a real life situation —- a real Craigslist ad that was put up by bohemian parents, who were looking for a woman to ‘date their son to bring him out of his shell’ the summer before he went to college.
The film was made by her friend, writer-director Gene Stupnitsky who had introduced Jennifer to her real life husband and she definitely felt like, “I owed him one and that’s why I did this film,” Lawrence added.
