No Hard Feelings plot, cast, and more details
No Hard Feelings is written and directed by notable director Gene Stupnitsky and is based on a screenplay by John Phillips.
The film's idea is straightforward yet compelling. Maddie is about to lose the house she was raised in. She needs money badly and sees the advertisement to "date" Percy as a means to get some quick money. A meek, awkward 19-year-old named Percy is frightened of women. He is certain that he will fit nowhere in college and be an outsider.
Despite being an odd couple, Maddie and Percy quickly become friends. Maddie encourages Percy to come out of his shell and Percy encourages Maddie to recognize her own virtues. Spending more time together helps them both grow and mature.
The official synopsis of the film, as per Sony Entertainment, reads:
"Maddie thinks she’s found the answer to her financial troubles when she discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to "date" their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, and bring him out of his shell before he leaves for college. But awkward Percy proves to be more of a challenge than she expected, and time is running out. She has one summer to make him a man or lose it all."
The film No Hard Feelings is amusing, endearing, and ultimately upbeat. The story also emphasizes the value of friendship and the necessity of never giving up on oneself.
In addition to its heartwarming and thought-provoking plot, No Hard Feelings hosts an exceptionally talented star cast. Jennifer Lawrence plays the lead role of Maddie in the film.
