Her car’s been just repossessed, towed by her ex Gary (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and with unpaid property tax bills looming, she needs wheels.Įnter the weirdest Craigslist ad of all time: A pair of wealthy helicopter parents ( Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) would like to “arrange” for a young woman to date their sheltered, nerdy son, Percy ( Andrew Barth Feldman) in exchange for a Buick. There simply aren’t enough female dirtbags in cinema, so Lawrence’s Maddie Barker - Uber driver, surly bartender and pissed-off Montauk townie - is a refreshing character. It’s a “Superbad”-style story with the sensitivity and class consciousness of John Hughes, a delightfully raunchy streak, and Lawrence going for broke in a bold and bawdy performance as a rowdy Long Island surfer girl doing her best Mae West. Her follow-up swings in the opposite direction, kicking up her heels in a good old-fashioned sex comedy, “No Hard Feelings,” which she also produced.ĭirected by Gene Stupnitsky ( “Good Boys”), “No Hard Feelings” is a direct descendant of ‘80s teen coming-of-age comedies but evolved for a new generation. Last year, Lawrence produced and starred in the gritty indie film “Causeway,” as a veteran recovering from a traumatic brain injury, for a first-time female director, Lila Neugebauer. It was a smart move, because Lawrence is back now, and it’s a whole new ball game. So she fired her agents and took a break to get married and have a baby.
But not all of those films were good, and Lawrence didn’t seem to be having all that much fun.
