Jennifer Lawrence Gets Jealous of a Teenage Girl | No Hard Feelings (2023) | Now Playing

[@adamatherton8562]

Jennifer Lawrence just gets better and better. You really feel on yourself what she feels watching him play the piano as he overcomes his shyness to sing from the heart. One of the best scenes in an unexpectedly great movie.

[@georgemilic1234]

Well said Adam Right on note.

[@hansolo631]

Yea but it makes no sense that he'd start singing at all. It just doesn't fit with what a guy would do in his situation - he'd be terrified just to play, which is what most piano players do anyways - also, because it's weird for the piano player in a restaurant to sing anyways, so it makes no sense at all.

[@BelfastBiker]

@@hansolo631 she manipulated him to do so. He was VERY resistant initially, and then found this wings as he played. Scene was brilliant.

[@hansolo631]

Oh no I don't have a problem with him playing the piano, just the singing part. Usually piano players don't sing, especially ones who are goaded into playing, and especially especially ones in a restaurant. @@BelfastBiker

[@adamatherton8562]

@@hansolo631 I agree with you, in fact I had similar thoughts which is why I agreed with someone else here who commented that he thought the movie was: "reverse engineered" from this scene. That makes more sense when you think it that way. It lead me to do a little digging and I found out that the actor, Andrew Barth Feldman, had dreams of being a singer and actually writes his own songs as well as doing his own "interpretations" of other songs. When he auditioned for the part there was a piano in the room and so the director asked him if he would do a song for them. This was the actual song he did. His performance not only got him the part but they liked it so much they decided that they: "had to incorporate it into the story" - so in a sense it really was reverse-engineered and it also proves that your instincts were correct So yes I agree that the scene does feel a little out of place but I hope that didn't spoil it for you too much as personally think it is one of the best scenes in the entire movie and shows that sometimes accidental creativity can add something extra that you could never have thought of.

[@sankalpchawla007]

Minor Spoiler: This is by far my favorite scene from the entire movie. He is such a great musician but too shy, he HAS to play something and he plays the song from when they first met... the song gets you right in the feels, and then the camera zooming in on Maddie specially when he sings "Oh here she comes...watch out boy she'll chew you up" and she is trying to hide how she's feeling, and also afraid that she is going to break this amazing man's heart... Something really sad but etheral beautiful about this scene.

[@biayumol4271]

Don't forget how she's wearing pink, which is the color of the dress she wore when she tried to seduce him in the dog shelter and was acting like a predator. She's stuck in the past, unable to grow up but this young man who's matured so much has woken her up to what she truly has become. Then... as the song ends, another girl walks into the scene wearing a floral dress, which mirrors the floral blouse Maddie wore in the beach date. During the beach date, they were having a convo about whether Maddie would've liked Percy if they were in highschool together. Yet, as she is having her "prom" with Percy, the girl that she once was (young and popular) walks right in and makes her feel insecure for no longer being her.

[@jahigains9201]

I haven't even seen this movie, but what makes this great is that it is all there in this scene and it works by itself.

[@paulroys5019]

@@biayumol4271 That's really insightful. I was so confused by Maddie's reaction to Natalie. Like Maddie's clearly stunned by the song and upset at the idea of being a "maneater," but positive attention from a woman his own age seems like it's going to make him less emotionally invested in Maddie and thus less vulnerable to being hurt by her. So you'd think Maddie should be all for it. Also, I feel like Percy being able to get this attention from someone like Natalie and have a positive, natural interaction with her would be "Mission Accomplished" as far as Percy's parents are concerned. I know Maddie has mainly interpreted her job as just to take Percy's virginity, but I think a big part of the assignment was to get him to open up and socialize normally. So then it's like "Wait, is Maddie actually romantically interested in Percy now?" But that doesn't seem accurate. Or she views Natalie as an obstacle getting in the way of Maddie having sex with Percy, taking the car and being done with the whole thing, but that doesn't jibe with "Maneater" hitting her so hard.

[@biayumol4271]

@@paulroys5019 Rather than just jealousy for taking Percy away, I've always viewed it as envy. It's the envy of a girl who hasn't moved on. To her, seeing Natalie was challenging another popular kid in highschool. Whatever guilt she felt was suddenly pushed away when she sees Natalie. She knows what she is but she forgets at that moment. Since the beginning of the movie, they've consistently tried to mirror Maddie to the younger characters in the movie. She may be in her 30s but mentally she hasn't aged much. One instance is during the beginning montage where they showcase both Maddie and Percy. Maddie's shot are a bit farther away from her face and have more raw sounds. Percy's shots are mostly close to his face and with music. By the latter part of the movie, they do the montage again but this time both have the background music playing. It shows how contained they are now at this point. The same goes with Natalie and the floral dress thing. Also, I'm just speaking from what I learned from analyzing movies in our film class lol. I had fun analyzing this movie because despite being a comedy, they still out effort in the cinematography.

[@paulroys5019]

@@biayumol4271 That makes a lot of sense. Like Maddie's interaction with Natalie is all about... Maddie and Natalie. For that minute she just kind of sees Percy as an object that they're competing over. And then once Natalie leaves and Percy brings up the future, she moves to "Oh man, how do I not hurt this sweet kid (but still get the car)?"

There's a detail about this scene that for me personally made it even more special and I'd like to share it. As the song is presented before while they both have their first date at the pub. It's shown that he doesn't understand the real meaning of the lyrics as he describes it as a scary song because he understood the lyrics literally. In the same way and regardless of her comment about '''her not thinking thats the real meaning of it''' he plays the song in this scene still not understanding the lyrics. As he doesn't understands what's she doing with him. She doesn't only feels touched by his song choice and his playing. But also by the fact she knows he doesn't still gets neither the lyrics , neither what's going on really between them. Adding an special touch to it.

This scene in this amazing movie is so good because the acting and writing is incredibly complex full of peaks and valleys. We may think that sitting in that chair fawning over your date while he plays the piano would be easy but not the way Jennifer does it. No the does something special. She understands subtly and there is no doubt we feel what her character is feeling. We fall in love with him as she does. Then with perfect comedic timing (yes that's also with the directing and editing) the interaction with the other girl is just masterfully crafted. We learn about the characters, we learn about what they want and are disappointed as he is when he gets up to leave, We are emotional because the actors are not playing, they are feeling for real and it helps the script is so well written. I can go on and on about how this scene is a master class in filmmaking. It should be studied, it has it's place as really amazing work and it is without a doubt incurabl

It may have been the first time she was able to see their relationship through HIS eyes and sense it from his perspective. And because her sense of conscience had been awakened during this relationship, she was suddenly overwhelmed with guilt and shame.

I cant get this version of this song out of my head, i love different takes on how things should be done. This clearly just hits harder because of how it addresses the character Jennifer is playing.

[@jonathanrojas6537]

This movie was so surprisingly great and Jennifer Lawrence was drop dead gorgeous in this movie .

[@LINEchallenge]

The trailer didn't impress me much, but this was a really entertaining movie! This was my favorite scene, and JL was fantastic in it! Yeah, sure, the guy was pretty good, too.

"Killing me softly with his song, telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song."

[@HeyMikeyLikesIt2]

Actually the best part of the movie, his rendition of that song. Slowed down made me memorize the words, now when I hear the original played I can sing along. …………. She’s deadly man, she could really rip your world apart…. Reminds me of every older and taller woman I’ve been with.

Girl was too handsy and couldn’t read the room. She wasn’t being nice 😂

[@kripahanda3350]

She was just an excited kid

[@Lala-jl7mi]

​@@kripahanda3350 she knew better tho. Old enough to understand how to read the room

[@b.a.m.mdoublem1196]

​@@Lala-jl7miagreed I could tell she's one of those spoilt rich kids.

[@sankalpchawla007]

Love her body language when she says "What ARE you?"

[@miguellogistics984]

Thankfully the guy was not in love with me or anything, but the Music Director of Dollywood, upon hearing my open audition song, the tone of the instruments, and reading my resume was basically just as stunned.

[@pablomonroy332]

"play for me" only those who play an instrument know how difficult it is to say no to a girl who looks at you with those eyes.

[@topgazza]

Jennifer always surprises me with her immense talent.

[@MBecerra2001]

When Jennifer Lawrence acted in Winter's Bone, she was probably a teenager and I was already 65 years old. I never thought that in any movie she would be called 'madam,' and it really makes me feel old. But I'm happy to see her.

[@jaym3064]

Obviously Lawrence’s beauty is her most obvious feature, but she’s such a brilliantly talented actor in every genre she touches.

[@poligottero]

JENIFER, your face in this scene.. and truly touching. YOU ARE VERY GOOD AND I ADMIRE YOU SO MUCH.

[@johnalfieri1613]

Not only is she beautiful in this scene but her acting as she changes facial expressions when she realizes what he is singing and how the words now, apply to her. Great scene!

[@notme222]

I give him credit for the line "Good, it's time they find out" even if he didn't have the confidence to stand by it. 😆😆Great acting by both.

[@agarwalanirudh]

There is something about Jennifer that makes u instantly connect with her... I really hope to see her crack those crazy legacy roles that become Timeless....

[@nemo227]

Perfect scene. Perfect way to use this song in a movie. Perfect acting.

[@louissaraiva2296]

The beauty is there , but the beast is in the heart ❤️. All these years listening to the song and never paid attention. Love ❤️ the movie and Jen & Andrew are great !!!

[@StreakingTiger]

When I heard that, it just reminded me of so many women in my life over the years. You can't run away fast enough.

[@spaceeyesg4272]

She’s thinking of the song killing me softly with his song ❤

[@davidmurphy7332]

Jen deserves another Oscar just for that little doubtful dart away with her eyes during the cadence of the song

[@pinkarmadillomd]

WOW....this rendition was wonderful. And I'm a huge fan of Hall and Oates, but I liked this kinda soulful rendition much better

[@slashtopher2193]

I've seen thousands of movies, and this scene is one of my all-time favorites. It's flawless.

[@A_Treat]

Came for the Jennifer Lawrence … stayed for the dorky guy signing 'Man-eater' the way i always i always thought it should be sung; with painful soul of someone who knows how messed up relationships can be. I will be seeing this movie!

[@alexjara1288]

he said "good, its time they find out" i loved this movie

[@vaughntoller6979]

The cinematography in this scene is incredible.

[@flutetubamorg]

Lawrence knows how good she is right? Brilliant piece of acting through "Maneater" with barely a movement. Just captivating.

[@exelta]

"I don't remember ordering a phony bitch for dessert" 🎤 Cracks me up!! 😆

[@AtomicAdams]

This movie had no business being this good. Wish it was a bigger hit; it delivered on nearly every expectation of a throwback R-rated comedy with heart and soul.

[@safetymikeengland]

I was already a Jennifer Lawrence fan. This movie was just awesome.

[@KEPOREVIEW]

Jen's face and the way she act is way mature now. And yet her big original laugh style stays like we usually remember it. I love her more now. She is full of surprises.

[@mitchbarredo3990]

She has nothing to be insecure about. One of the finest women on this earth.

[@158shm]

I’ve watched this 10 times , this kid put such a good melody on this song

[@Pureignition58]

2:12 I never really listened to the lyrics before but this applies to at least 70% of the young American women these days. The narcissism has corrupted our college age women.

This woman is a natural beauty

[@jeancarlodelaluz6415]

Wow a rollercoaster of emotions. Humor, seriousness, good cover and humor again. Damn I'll be watching this.

[@MarklovesAngels]

Never saw Hunger Games so when I watched Don't Look Up, I never knew Jennifer Lawrence can ACT. Her expression in the last few shots of that movie were especially amazing. Now this.

[@donal7755]

perfect song choice given the context ! Nice touch ! Perfect guilty expressions on her side.

Way surprised by this Movie... Really fantastic 😢❤

When he first started playing I thought he was playing Cortez the killer and thought, wow, what an unexpected & great choice! A second later realising it was man eater, still impressed at the chord arrangement.
