No Hard Feelings (2023)

 Concerned about their Princeton bound sons (Andrew Barth Feldman) lack of social skills, rich parents Matthew Broderick & Laura Benanti hire local hot mess Jennifer Lawrence to date him over the course of the summer in Montauk, Long Island. Apatowian mix of raunch and heart is sometimes too on the nose, but enjoyable light comedy all the same. Lawrence and Feldman have a good chemistry. Film was critized about the age difference mainly from the left, there was a time in my memory where this criticism would have been mainly from the right. The point of mildly transgressive comedy is to be mildly transgressive and their is still an audiance for this, though not as much as there once was, $89.5 million off a $45 million budget. ***
