No Hard Feelings
Gender swapping is fun. Can you imagine this the other way around, no way in hell it would be done. A rare American comedy with funny writing, but gets a bit po-faced in the third act.
J-Law lives alone in the Hamptons, but she rarely sleeps alone. Her commitment issues leave her with a string of one-night stands and ghosting potential life partners. When back taxes on her inherited house are overdue and her car is repossessed, which nukes her Uber side-gig, she has to rollerblade to work and needs to find a car stat.
Her friend notices there’s some rich couple wanting their extremely sheltered kid to go on a date before leaving for Princeton, and they are willing to give away an old car as pay for this prostitution gig, so what the hell, she goes for it.
The kid is extremely sheltered, but accepts very forward advances by our smoking hot protagonist, even though he clearly wants to have a meeting of minds, more that just penis and vagina. They are perfect foils and eventually meet in the middle, not before many things happen that I will not spoil.
Our boy does goes to Princeton, more laid back, hopefully meeting people his own age, and our protagonist learns to have less fear of commitment, and finally goes on that road trip to California she is planning for years.
Jennifer Lawrence is incredible in this, and coming out of the sea butt naked and wrestling teenagers over her clothes is not even her best scene.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
