So what to expect from “No Hard Feelings”? Well, with Gene Stupnitsky directing and co-writing, expect something like “Bad Teacher” with a “Risky Business” twist.

Here’s the official synopsis for “No Hard Feelings,” courtesy of Sony Pictures Releasing:
On the brink of losing her childhood home, Maddie (Lawrence) discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to “date” their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, before he leaves for college. To her surprise, Maddie soon discovers the awkward Percy is no sure thing.
Alongside Lawrence, “No Hard Feelings” also stars Andrew Barth Feldman, Matthew Broderick, Natalie Morales, Laura Benanti, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Scott Macarthur, Kyle Mooney, Hasan Minhaj, Jarquez McClendon, and Alysia Joy Powell round out the main cast.
Stupnitsky directs “No Hard Feelings,” and co-writes the film with John Phillips. It’s Stupnitksy’s first film since the 2019 coming-of-age comedy “Good Boys.”
