No Hard Feelings is an enjoyable and light comedy with an engaging cast of non-A-list actors, save for the luminous Jennifer Lawrence. She plays an edgy, foul-mouthed, down-on-her-luck young lady who answers an ad placed by two concerned parents looking for a woman to bring their introverted teen son "out of his shell" (wink,wink) before he leaves for college. Dad is played by the only other A-lister, Matthew Broderick, as kind of a new-age hipster/hippie hybrid. Andrew Barth Feldman plays the awkward teen to perfection, playing his role with authentic teen angst and insecurity.
Despite her character's gritty disposition, Lawrence is sensitive and sweetly beautiful. The movie takes a brief turn to the unbelievable when a completely nude JLaw kicks the butts of three punks on a dark beach. Nevertheless, it is a fun scene and certainly doesn't detract from the story.
No Hard Feelings is definitely one of the better recent comedies with a minimum of saccharine but lots of heart. It is easy to recommend.
