No Hard Feelings Reviews
Christina Newland iNews.co.uk
Lawrence is going for it, but the comic timing rarely lands and the film is full of jokes and situations that fall flat.

Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...?
[Lawrence and Feldman] are so good and authentic in their feelings and epiphanies that you can almost believe the filmmakers were making a character study rather than exploiting one for cheap laughs.

Sure, Jennifer Lawrence has those Oscar movies under her belt, but is this my favorite JLaw movie? It’s a pretty close call.

Of the many movies I watched in 2023 I’m not sure I saw one at odds with itself quite like “No Hard Feelings”.

Yasser Medina Cinefilia
From the outset, its a sex comedy that uncovers certain gender taboos with the marked explicit nature from Jennifer Lawrence, but its proposal loses its daring effect when it travels through the same dull and conventional ways. [Full review in Spanish]

A healthy dose of laughs and characters you root for can overcome even a handful of ill-considered gags.

Derek Sante KVCW (Las Vegas)
Raunchy and funny in so many wrong ways, I'm giving this film a B+ for the belly laughs it delivers.

It’s a real shame that [Jennifer Lawrence] spent a decade playing noted sourpuss Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and its sequels, as she has better comic timing than just about anyone else from her age cohort.

No Hard Feelings is for the most part good fun and makes for a witty coming of age story for both thirty-two-year-old Maddie and the teen who teaches her some unexpected life lessons.

Rick Bentley KGET-TV (Bakersfield, CA)
There is an attempt to pull this disaster out of a tailspin at the end but even the sentimentality of that moment comes across as forced. The only good thing about the final scene is that it signals this mess has come to an end.

No Hard Feelings does what it says on the box – and a little bit more, thanks to Lawrence, but only just a little bit.

If No Hard Feelings works, though, it’s largely because of the chemistry between Lawrence and Feldman. They make the dialogue fly, and both have a surprising talent for physical comedy

No Hard Feelings is a good time. [Full review in Spanish]

Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina)
Though No Hard Feelings reverses some sexist clichés of the genre and explores what has changed in contemporary relationships, it doesn't completely lose the bourgeois modesty that was always the true limit of sexual comedies. [Full review in Spanish]

Pablo O. Scholz Clarín
The comedy never questions having sex for money; a notable point for the comedy by co-writer and director Gene Stupnitsky. [Full review in Spanish]

Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu
No Hard Feelings, which plays super safe for a sex comedy, is just the medicine, as Lawrence makes patently silly scenes work with buckets of flair.

You’d expect an Oscar-winning actress of her popularity and stature, who presumably has her pick of material, to choose something with a little more substance than a generic sex comedy with a cringy premise.

Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore)
This frisky tale of seduction has a winning couple who add heart to the ribald laughs.

Nicholas Bell Spin
One of Lawrence’s most interesting characters, her vibrancy blazes beyond the film’s limitations.

Matthew Creith Matinee With Matt
"No Hard Feelings" isn't the greatest comedy to come along in recent memory, but it stands out for its bold attempt to please its audience with sincerity and vulgarity. The chemistry between the leads is tangible, even if it's meant to be illogical.
