No Hard Feelings

Lawrence is going for it, but the comic timing rarely lands and the film is full of jokes and situations that fall flat.

This light pick-me-up of a flick is as eager to please as [Jennifer] Lawrence is to show off her luminous physical comedy skills, elevated by the star’s fiery comic timing and effortless drollness.

I am about to recommend a mildly raunchy R-rated comedy for one simple reason: I had fun watching it. I am so sick and tired of overlong, overproduced, formulaic “content” that this insignificant movie looks like a work of genius in comparison. 


It appears to be a raucous sex comedy, but it ends up sentimental and predictable.

No Hard Feelings doesn’t mean any harm, and more power to it.

No Hard Feelings is a welcome addition to a dwindling genre — and a reminder that Lawrence is one of Hollywood's best (and funniest) leads.

No Hard Feelings won’t leave you feeling much afterwards, but its acting charm and bits of sincerity should be enough for a one-time watch.



[Lawrence and Feldman] are so good and authentic in their feelings and epiphanies that you can almost believe the filmmakers were making a character study rather than exploiting one for cheap laughs.

Sure, Jennifer Lawrence has those Oscar movies under her belt, but is this my favorite JLaw movie? It’s a pretty close call.

Of the many movies I watched in 2023 I’m not sure I saw one at odds with itself quite like “No Hard Feelings”.
