The sex comedy genre, which dominated cinemas in the early 2000s, has unfortunately mostly disappeared from the big screen in recent years. With "No Hard Feelings", it now celebrates a small comeback, and I have to admit that I missed it a bit. Even though the plot isn't surprising at any point, for the most part, this movie worked pretty well for me, primarily due to lead actress Jennifer Lawrence. She's proven time and again in the past that she's an excellent actress in the dramatic realm, but with "Don't Look Up" and now "No Hard Feelings", she also demonstrated her very good comedic timing.

And Lawrence really gives it her all in this film, whether it's through sharp dialogue or full-on physical comedy. I actually laughed numerous times, even if not every joke worked. Also, it should be clear to everyone that the film would not work at all if gender roles were reversed. As it is, however, this comedy is highly entertaining and funny throughout. Lawrence's chemistry with her co-star, Andrew Barth Feldman, is also strong, which is important given their numerous scenes together. Meanwhile, the plot is predictable, but the script thankfully avoids a few clichés.

"No Hard Feelings" is certainly not a masterpiece, but not every film has to be. Just being good should be enough sometimes. I would certainly be happy to see more films of this genre in theaters again in the future.
