Oh boy, hold on to your seats because Jennifer Lawrence is making sex jokes! The Oscar-winning actress attended CinemaCon in Las Vegas to promote Sony's upcoming film "No Hard Feelings." According to director Gene Stupnitsky, Lawrence is a "true comedy natural" in her first R-rated comedy. The film is about two helicopter parents who hire a woman to "date" their introverted 19-year-old son so he doesn't leave for college as a virgin. And boy oh boy, did Lawrence bring her A-game in the raunchy footage that played at the event.
During the presentation, Lawrence made fun of Stupnitsky by suggesting that the film was based on his life. Stupnitsky retorted by saying that it was actually based on a Craigslist ad. But wait, there's more! Lawrence then went on to joke about Stupnitsky being a virgin until the age of 26. Oh, Jennifer, you're so hilarious!
In the film, Lawrence plays an Uber driver named Maddie Barker who is forced to resort to desperate measures after her car is repossessed. She accepts an unusual Craigslist posting, where her new employers are the wealthy parents of an academically gifted but socially clueless teenage boy named Percy.
Maddie agrees to seduce and date their son to bring him out of his shell before he goes to college. In one scene, Maddie wears a tight pink minidress and heels as she attempts to adopt a dog from the shelter where Percy works. She also tries to flirt with Percy but fails miserably, which ends with him dousing her in pepper spray.
The film also stars Matthew Broderick, Laura Benanti, and Natalie Morales. Sony brought a range of movies to CinemaCon, including "Dumb Money," "Kraven the Hunter," and "Bad Boys 4." During the presentation, Sony's motion picture group president Tom Rothman praised the theatrical experience and predicted that movie theaters would not just survive but triumph. So, get ready to laugh and cringe at the same time because "No Hard Feelings" is coming to a theater near you on June 23rd.
