No Hard Feelings is an upcoming American coming of age sex comedy film directed by Gene Stupnitsky from a screenplay he co-wrote with John Phillips. Jennifer Lawrence produces and stars alongside Andrew Barth Feldman. Appearing in supporting roles are Matthew Broderick, Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, Scott MacArthur and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

No Hard Feelings is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 23, 2023, by Sony Pictures Releasing.

Premise

The film is set in Montauk, New York, where Maddie, an Uber driver who is facing bankruptcy after her car is repossessed, accepts an unusual Craigslist posting. Her new employers are parents who have noticed that their socially clueless but academically gifted teenaged son is not interested in human interactions, dating women, or having sex. In exchange for a Buick Regal, she agrees to become their son's "girlfriend", to "date his brains out", and help him to join adult life.[1][2]

The movie title is a sexual double entendre denoting the teenaged son's impotency.

Cast

Production

In October 2021, it was announced that Sony won a highly competitive R-rated comedy package backed by producer-star Jennifer Lawrence and director Gene Stupnitsky over studios Apple, Netflix, and Universal Pictures for a theatrical-exclusive release.[4][5] Lawrence, Alex Saks, Marc Provissiero, Naomi Odenkirk, and Justine Polsky serve as producers while Stupnitsky co-wrote the screenplay with John Phillips.[5] In July 2022, it was reported that Sony would be moving forward with the film and engage in a theatrical release set for June 16, 2023.[6]

In September 2022, Andrew Barth Feldman joined the cast as the male lead,[7] while Laura Benanti and Matthew Broderick were cast as that character's parents;[8][9] Ebon Moss-Bachrach also joined the cast.[10] In October 2022, Natalie Morales and Scott MacArthur joined the cast.[11]

Principal photography began in late September 2022 in various Nassau County locations in New York, such as Hempstead, Point Lookout, Lawrence, and Uniondale. Ted's Fishing Station located in Point Lookout was made to look like "Montauk Dock East".[12] In October, production shot scenes at the North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington.[13]

Release

No Hard Feelings is set for release in the United States on June 23, 2023. It was initially scheduled to be released the week before (June 16, 2023).[6][14]

Marketing

The marketing campaign for No Hard Feelings began on March 6, 2023 when stunt advertisements reading "Need A Car? 'Date' Our Son" were released on billboards and newsstands across the United States, as well as social platforms such Instagram, Reddit and Facebook.[15] A trailer for the film—which addresses the advertisements—was released to the public on March 9, 2023.[16] On April 24, 2023, a teaser poster featuring Lawrence and Feldman was released.[17] PopSugar noted that the labels above reading "pretty" and "awkward", sets up "what's sure to be the movie's central dichotomy".[18]
