Re: No Hard Feelings
It’s cute. Lawrence and Feldman are great. Every laugh is in the trailer. The only other laugh I can think of is Lawrence asking her Native American lawyer/surfer friend if he knows what it’s like having outsiders invade on their land. The title also feels like it came from the same company that edited Suicide Squad (2016). It doesn’t mean anything. They just jumbled some words together.

Re: No Hard Feelings
This ended up better than I was expecting, the comedy is pretty good throughout and with a dearth of good comedies being released this is a welcome entry. It's still a bit shaky on the story nor is there much comedic talent in this, but it does manage some good laughs in the end. Mostly thanks to Lawrence, and despite it being one of her lesser roles, she's a level above the rest. I was expecting more from Broderick and Benanti.

Re: No Hard Feelings
I actually ended up seeing this three times theatrically with friends and family and just watched it at home, it's a movie a lot of casual moviegoers want to see and will end up discovering IMO. Especially since Sony has a Netflix deal I am sure the numbers will be HUGE once it hits that platform. It's raunchy but not so raunchy that you can't watch it with a parent or a teenager or any demographic in between.
It's very rewatchable though, and Lawrence is great.

Re: No Hard Feelings
This is more of a romcom revival than a raunchy revival, but I’m happy with that, the two leads had nice chemistry and there’s a few standout comedy moments like the naked bodyslam, finger trap, destroyed the car and the Gen Z party. Some of the side characters like the male nanny and guy who married the teacher were underused considering they were good comic tropes, I would have preferred more of them than her bland friends. I think it could have ended with them more typical big kiss get together moment but the open ended aspect for their relationship is ok.

Re: No Hard Feelings
Watched it a couple of times as it's good but the second time middle half really drags.. Lawrence is really good in this and I loved the ending here.
7/10. B/B+

Re: No Hard Feelings
Mostly harmless aren't the words you'd want to apply to a sex comedy, but No Hard Feelings is solid nonetheless. Jlaw beating up some high school kids in the nude is the standout scene. I also liked the ending alot as it was a natural progression for both characters without any cliched 'happily ever after'. They both have a lot of work to do and I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel.
7.5/10
