No Hard Feelings: Jennifer Lawrence fails to seduce in the red band trailer for her new comedy

Last Updated on June 14, 2023

After Jennifer Lawrence returned to her indie roots with the intimate character drama Causeway, the actress is now venturing into much lighter material with the raunchy comedy, No Hard Feelings. The film’s plot was generally under wraps, but Sony has now released the trailer that reveals the zany nature that would give the movie a firm seat next to comedies like American Pie and The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Variety reports on the new red band trailer that gives us all the dirty goodness.

The trailer shows Lawrence as a promiscuous Uber driver named Maddie, who is on the verge of losing her house, and her means of transportation was just towed. In desperation, she answers a Craigslist ad from wealthy parents who are looking to help pry their son, Percy, out of his shell just before he goes to college. The parents proposition Maddie to give their son one hell of a “date,” and she will be greatly compensated. What then follows is a series of failed attempts of Lawrence’s character trying to seduce the 19-year-old.

The comedy comes from Gene Stupnitsky, who had co-wrote 2011’s Bad Teacher and 2009’s Year One. He recently helmed Good Boys, which was a shake-up of an American Pie-esque movie, only this time involving younger boys, and their ultimate goal was to kiss a girl. Here, Stupnitsky once again plays with conventions in a script he co-wrote with John Phillips, who had produced Good Boys and wrote the screenplay for Dirty Grandpa.

Joining Lawrence in the fray is Andrew Barth Feldman as Percy, Matthew Broderick as his father, Laura Benanti as his mother, plus Natalie Morales, Hasan Minhaj, Kyle Mooney, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Scott MacArthur, and more. Jennifer Lawrence is also on board as producer along with Alex Saks, Naomi Odenkirk, Marc Provissiero, Justine Ciarrocchi and the executive producers include John Phillips and Kerry Orent.

Lawrence was previously seen in another comedy fairly recently in 2021 with Netflix’s Don’t Look Up. Her drama, Causeway, is currently available to stream on AppleTV+ and No Hard Feelings is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 23.
