No Hard Feelings Review: Jennifer Lawrence’s Bold, Raunchy Performance Can’t Save A Dull, Generic Comedy

Jennifer Lawrence in No Hard Feelings

Twenty years ago, comedy on the big screen was in the midst of a phenomenal moment. The success of Old School put a special spotlight on the stars who would become known as the Frat Pack – which led to successes like Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy, Wedding Crashers and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story – and just around the corner was the rise of Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen, who would give us hits like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Superbad. Every few months in the mid-‘00s, audiences were given the opportunity to gather in theaters and get sent into collective hysterics by a new big studio release, and it was bliss.
