Columbia Pictures' latest release, "No Hard Feelings," starring Jennifer Lawrence, Andrew Barth Feldman, Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, and Matthew Broderick, is a racy R-rated comedy that has audiences laughing out loud. Directed by Gene Stupnitsky, the film tells the story of Maddie, a 32-year-old female Uber driver struggling to save her inherited home in Montauk from bankruptcy.
Maddie finds herself in dire straits after her car is repossessed while attempting to pay off property taxes on her mother's house. In a last-ditch effort to salvage her home, she responds to a peculiar Craigslist ad. The offer: "date" a rich couple’s 19-year-old son Percy, who lacks experience with girls, parties, drinking or even life in general, to boost his confidence before he heads to Princeton in the fall. In exchange, Maddie will receive a Buick Regal.
