It sounds simple enough – but when she meets with Percy’s helicopter parents, she soon learns that he’s completely “unf**kable”.
The hilarious trailer shows Lawrence flexing her comedic muscles as ‘ne’er-do-well’ Maddie as she goes all-out to try and help the socially awkward teenager lose his virginity. Cue skinny dipping, requests to touch his “wiener” (just a dog at the shelter) and one chaotic scene in which a perceived kidnapping leads to her getting pepper sprayed in the face.
Also in the trailer is a buff man in some tight briefs. Range. “I’ll date his brains out,” assures Maddie.
Judging by fan reactions, J-Law fans can’t wait for the release of No Hard Feelings this summer, with plenty of Twitter praise for the revival of the “mid-budget star-driven romcom.”
“I really hope we’re entering an “Oscar winners doing dumb, horny comedies” period. We’re due,” one fan wrote, referencing Lawrence’s Academy Award win for 2013’s drama Silver Linings Playbook.
Other fans have rejoiced at the ‘return’ of Oscar-winning Lawrence, who scaled back the amount of acting projects she has starred in after dominating the box office as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games quadrilogy and Mystique in the X-Men franchise.
“Mother back in acting,” wrote one Twitter user, while another added: “Oh so NOW everyone is back to being a Jennifer Lawrence fan??”
On the brink of losing her childhood home, Maddie applies for a unique job listed by wealthy helicopter parents, who are looking for someone to 'date' with their 'un-f**kable' 19-year-old son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), before he leaves for college.
And if the trailer is anything to go by, we're expecting a madness of a film.
The solid cast also includes the likes of Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti, who play Percy's parents, along with Natalie Morales (Dead To Me), Hasan Minhaj, Kyle Mooney (Saturday Night Live), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear) and Scott MacArthur.
It all started when a confused on-looker asked Twitter: "This genuinely looks funny, great trailer - but why did they settle on this title? Perplexing choice."
"Really? You need that explained to you?" one person asked, while another revealed the brilliant innuendo: "Because no matter what she does, he has no ‘hard’ feelings for her. Seems to be a play on words. He’s not feeling it…"
Co-star Ebon Moss-Bachrach also told Awards Radar that we can expect to see a new 'goofy' side to Lawrence.
"I think Jennifer Lawrence is really goofy in this movie, in a way that she hasn’t been in the past," he said.
"The movie reminds me of some ‘90s comedies I really used to like. I don’t want to misrepresent the movie, but there were elements which reminded me of the Farrelly brothers, or Something About Mary.
