Twitter compares Jennifer Lawrence's No Hard Feelings trailer to Matthew McConaughey's Failure to Launch
Several fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the new trailer for No Hard Feelings. Many were not impressed with the film's overall tone and visual aesthetics and compared it to the Matthew McConaughey-Sarah Jessica Parker starrer Failure to Launch.
Check out some of the reactions on Twitter:
The stories of both films share some similarities. In Failure to Launch, the protagonist's parents hire an interventionist to help him mentally and emotionally prepare to move out of their house. Here's a short description of the movie, as per Rotten Tomatoes:
''A young man (Matthew McConaughey) continues to live at the home of parents who, in desperation to push him out of the nest once and for all, hatch a plan. They hire a beautiful woman (Sarah Jessica Parker) to entice him to assume the mantle of responsibility and get his own place.''
The film did not impress critics, but it was a commercial success. It stars Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker in the lead roles, along with Zooey Deschanel, Bradley Cooper, and many others playing significant supporting roles.
