No Hard Feelings isn't the first comedy in which parents paid to have a woman date their son, but it is an improvement on Failure to Launch.
With a promising box office debut and a generally favorable reception, No Hard Feelings is one of the few theatrically-released comedies that shows promise for the future of laughter at the movies. Directed by Gene Stupnitsky, the film stars Jennifer Lawrence as Maddie Barker, a comedic role that finally makes use of Lawrence’s naturally hilarious charm.
In addition to reveling in the assured allures of its leads, with McConaughey as a hunky charisma machine and Parker as a fashionable dating expert, Failure to Launch’s biggest success is the well-assembled supporting cast. Bradshaw brings surprisingly effective comedic chops as Tripp’s father and, unsurprisingly, Bates adds emotional sincerity to Tripp’s mother.
As a sex comedy, No Hard Feelings is freer from the romantic comedy tropes. The film still focuses on a pair of mismatched leads, as proclaimed by the film’s “Pretty. Awkward.” marketing campaign. However, the film is, from the beginning, well-aware that this pair should not be together. Rather than following a narrative where the two end up a romantic couple, Maddie and Percy form an affectionate friendship by the film’s conclusion.
