Best Comedy: “No Hard Feelings” (R)

“Do you want me to date him, or ‘date’ him?” – “No Hard Feelings” (2023)

The movie follows Maddie Barker (Jennifer Lawrence) and Percy Becker (Andrew Barth Feldman) as Percy’s parents try to find a fake girlfriend for him without him knowing. The parents offer a car to any girl who dates Percy before college, and Maddie Barker agrees.

Before this movie, I had never seen Jennifer Lawrence in a comedy setting, but I think it is her destiny.

And guess what? Andrew Barth Feldman sings in this movie!!! He got his start on Broadway as Evan Hansen in Tony award-winning Dear Evan Hansen, the youngest person to play the role. He delivers a rendition of “Maneater” by Hall & Oates (and his cover has ended up on my Spotify Wrapped mysteriously…???).

About the Contributor

Louise Lawhead, Reporter

Louise Lawhead is a sophomore reporter and is looking forward to her second year on Tatler. She is most excited to write not only fun articles about media and trends but also articles on important subjects and advocacy. Outside of school, you may find her in musicals, constantly watching movies or hanging out with her friends. Besides show tunes, her go-to music artists are Tyler, the Creator, TV Girl, Reneé Rapp and Radiohead. If Louise were banned from watching “Carrie” or the original Broadway cast of “Newsies” ever again, she would delete all social media and change her identity. She is looking forward to spending another year with this amazing group!
