‘No Hard Feelings’ works because Jennifer Lawrence rolls with the punches. She gets pepper-sprayed and punched in the throat while trying to save herself from financial ruin. But the wackiest moment in the film is the scene where Jennifer Lawrence fights a group of rowdy teenagers in the nude.
The semantics around the scene had people on the Oscar-winning actress’s team talking. But she was game for everything. The ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ actor didn’t question the scene’s morality for a moment and went for it. The result was an unexpected comic scene that left the audience laughing their guts out.
