Jennifer Lawrence's Latest Comedy Sets the Bar High with a Fresh Rotten Tomatoes Score
Jennifer Lawrence returns with a bang in her latest comedy 'No Hard Feelings', captivating audiences with her impeccable comedic timing This highly anticipated film hits theaters today, leaving audiences in stitches and proving Lawrence's undeniable talent
No Hard Feelings has emerged as one of Jennifer Lawrence's few recent movies to achieve a Fresh rating. This raunchy comedy features Lawrence in the role of Maddie, a young woman facing hardships, who agrees to fake a relationship with a socially awkward 19-year-old, played by Andrew Barth Feldman, in exchange for money from his parents. Alongside Lawrence, the ensemble cast includes Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, and Matthew Broderick.
Rotten Tomatoes has now revealed the official score for the R-rated No Hard Feelings. With a total of 103 reviews, the movie has received a Fresh rating with a score of 67 percent. This marks the third occasion since the conclusion of the Hunger Games franchise in 2015 that a movie starring Lawrence has achieved a Fresh rating. The other two titles were mother! (68 percent) in 2017 and Causeway (Certified Fresh at 84 percent) in 2022.
Is Jennifer Lawrence Back on the Upswing?
Lawrence's recent film, No Hard Feelings, marks her second consecutive Fresh rating in the past two years. This comes after a series of movies that received mixed or negative reviews, some of which still managed to attract a decent audience. For instance, Adam McKay's Don't Look Up and the sci-fi drama Passengers garnered solid viewership numbers despite receiving low critical ratings. However, movies like X-Men: Dark Phoenix proved to be disappointments both critically and commercially, with a dismal 22 percent rating. This decline in quality is particularly surprising considering Lawrence's early career success, where she starred in a string of 13 Fresh-rated films out of 16 made prior to Joy's release in December 2015. Nevertheless, the release of No Hard Feelings may indicate a promising future for the talented star.
Lawrence's recent projects after No Hard Feelings are predominantly non-comedic in nature. Among them are Sue, a biopic about a Hollywood agent, and Die, My Love, a psychological thriller directed by Lynne Ramsay. Nevertheless, these films have the potential to follow in the footsteps of the Oscar-nominated drama Causeway and contribute to improving Lawrence's Rotten Tomatoes rating, alongside her latest venture in comedy.
