Lawrence's 2023 film No Hard Feelings turned some heads upon its release, but audiences are now turning their attention to it once again on streaming. According to the chart data, the comedy is succeeding on streaming in the United States and abroad this week. It is at no. 7 today (April 27) on HBO Max in the United States.
The film is housed on Netflix in some countries, including Morocco, where it also makes the top 10 list today. The film is less successful among its Apple TV viewers, but still has made top 25 lists in countries such as Panama and Uganda.
Part romantic comedy and part absurdist, No Hard Feelings focuses on a 32-year-old adult woman named Maddie (Lawrence) who responds to an unusual Craigslist ad from a set of parents wanting to hire someone to date their 19-year-old son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman). Desperate for money, Maddie takes this job, with hilarity ensuing as she attempts to bring the inexperienced teen out of his shell.
No Hard Feelings received generally positive reception, though it was not without its detractors. Among critics, the film got a 71% Tomatometer approval on Rotten Tomatoes.
These reviews included a 7 out of 10-star review from ScreenRant's Graeme Guttmann, who deemed the film "a raunchy comedy that, despite its faults, is both sweet and hysterical." Guttmann also went on to praise Lawrence's performance, an oft-cited point in No Hard Feelings' favor.
For a theatrical rom-com, No Hard Feelings also had a decent box office run. The movie made $87.2 million worldwide, with $50.4 million of that coming domestically. This may not have been fantastic margins on a healthy $45 million budget, but still at least meant the film had some audience.
On its streaming platforms both at home and internationally, it seems the film is getting a second chance at life. This is good news for Lawrence, who is slated to appear in the latest Hunger Games this fall as well as the upcoming mystery The Wives. While Lawrence fans wait for her next release, they can keep enjoying No Hard Feelings as its streaming rankings rise.
