Netflix managed to make a wonderful and hilarious raunchy comedy that brings to the table much, much more and stands up to some of the most dramatic movies in Hollywood!
The quick review here is simple: "No Hard Feelings is a fun and raunchy comedy that is sure to be an instant classic!" However, I think it's much more than that... The standout acting from Andrew Barth Feldman was really what brought the movie to life. If such an actor wasn't found, the movie would've just been yet another movie in a sea of movies that many people probably wouldn't have given much thought to. His casting was spot on, and he absolutely killed it!
Speaking of spot on casting, Jennifer Lawrence was the perfect actor to deliver such a well-balanced performance of grungy, hilarious, sadness, and nuance. We all know she's a fantastic actress, but in my opinion, she's been recognized for performances in the past that weren't even this good!
The list of amazing performances goes on and on all the way through the cast, which is a testament to the casting director, but also to the overall production, which was led by director Gene Stupnitsky. When watching this film, it's almost as if I'm watching a documentary with how grounded and real everything seems. In fact, the premise is more real than one would think, given that it's based on a real craigslist ad!
When sitting down to watch this movie, you think you're going to watch a fun and raunchy comedy - which it certainly is! But it's so well layered (Laird) with emotion and heart, that when the movie finishes you almost feel as if it's a different movie - as if you've seen two movies in one.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this production what it was! An instant classic!
