Critic Reviews:
This light pick-me-up of a flick is as eager to please as [Jennifer] Lawrence is to show off her luminous physical comedy skills, elevated by the star’s fiery comic timing and effortless drollness.

I am about to recommend a mildly raunchy R-rated comedy for one simple reason: I had fun watching it. I am so sick and tired of overlong, overproduced, formulaic “content” that this insignificant movie looks like a work of genius in comparison.

It appears to be a raucous sex comedy, but it ends up sentimental and predictable.

No Hard Feelings doesn’t mean any harm, and more power to it.

No Hard Feelings is a welcome addition to a dwindling genre — and a reminder that Lawrence is one of Hollywood’s best (and funniest) leads.

[An] amusing but instantly forgettable romp. The unstoppable force of Lawrence’s charisma notwithstanding, this is not so much tasteless, just a bit bland.

Lawrence is wonderful, and the film is frequently hilarious, sporting a half-dozen outstanding comedic set-pieces.

No Hard Feelings isn’t extraordinary… but it is a raunchy comedy reminiscent of erotic-youth “classics” such as American Pie or Porky’s that shies away from the current compulsive search for prestige and political correctness. [Full review in Spanish]

Earns big laughs, particularly from a scene of intense bravery by Lawrence that, if it wasn’t so graphic, would almost certainly play in the montage of clips at her future career achievement award ceremonies.

If you liked ‘American Pie,’ you should take a look at ‘No Hard Feelings,’ another raunchy comedy that might suit your taste.

Lawrence shows a flair for physical comedy we haven’t seen much of, and she draws strong laughs with Maddie’s clumsily slutty attempts to woo Percy.

Jennifer Lawrence, however, deserves a stronger script to really justify the work she’s asked to put in. She can bring the laughs (Andrew Barth Feldman can, too), but she’s expected to do too much.
