When the film gets bogged down in the emotional beat it slows down the pacing too much. I don't think the emotional elements resonated as the characters are too poorly fleshed out. The supporting cast is minimal, so it really is all about the two terrific performances from these two. I'd never even heard of Andrew Barth Feldman before, but he really shines in his role and plays it to perfection. Jennifer Lawrence is always brilliant so it's no surprise that she steals the show. As well as being funny it boasts two brilliant lead performances. Saying this, it does allow for plenty of comedic scenarios and is actually a pretty funny film, with numerous laugh out loud moments. It's not the worst set up I've ever seen in a comedy, but it's not great either. It follows Jennifer Lawrence as 32 year old Maddie, who finds herself embroiled in a scheme to save her house by 'dating' a 19 year old at the behest of his parents. It will be sure to produce some good laughs, but the story is a little too paper thin and the characters a little too 2-dimensional for it to truly impress. No Hard Feelings is a pretty entertaining but unspectacular comedy.
