No Hard Feelings is the craziest movie

[@trinaq]

If they tried to make the same movie about a man in his 30's who is hired to seduce a 19 year old girl in exchange for a car, and includes scenes where she's visibly afraid of him aggressively hitting on her, then it would likely be a psychological horror, not a rom com. And he'd likely be played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

As a parent, the creepiest part of this movie was the parents.

And then at the end theyre still struggling to let him make his own choices. I'm not calling abuse...but it does give me major creeps...

It’s abuse. This whole movie is disgusting. Like, as an SA survivor this made me feel pissed. Some of us just don’t wanna have sex. Idk why that’s made out to be such a spectacle but it just reinforces my belief that the average person is such a lying, manipulative, conceited POS that the idea of procreating with ANY human being becomes fucking disgusting & stuff like this just reinforces that trauma to the next level. Seeing this blatant predatory behavior put on full display & painted as a “comedy” actually makes my blood boil.

[@MrGazzara]

Very well said. Seems like they make movies like this because there are some excited at the prospect of a woman having sex with a boy especially when the parents are supportive. Jennifer Lawrence is a beautiful woman and the interest in seeing her in being intimate with a boy is exciting to many. I think it's disturbing, maybe even disgusting. But today's values have changed drastically. Everything is available now and open. Just keep an eye on your children. It's going to get worse.

You should call it abuse. That is exactly what this filthy concept of the movie is.

For those of you saying her house was already paid for, she only needed to pay taxes. If a bunch of rich people move in next door, the value of your house increases, and the taxes get huge. If you can't afford it, mortgage paid or not, you're out of luck!

[@TheAnantaSesa]

That's the problem with gentrification.

[@Dev_712]

This entire concept of driving up the property tax seems so wild to me as someone who isn't from the US

[@TheAnantaSesa]

@@Dev_712 it's an extension of the way all the land in a kingdom belongs to the king. So we don't fully own our land bc we have to keep paying tribute in the form of property taxes to the kingdom that we call a democracy. Since we don't entirely own the land, that tribute isn't a fixed number and is based on demand. More demand for a piece of land increases its value and thus the tax increases. And since it is worth more, you can easily sell it to pay the taxes if you can't afford the current rate.

[@Dev_712]

@@TheAnantaSesa yeah I get property taxes and such. What I do find weird is gentrification and how the rich people can then pretty much dictate the entire neighbourhood rules. Of course the more the demand is, the higher the price of the property and the rich neighbours would like to keep it that way so that their investment doesn't go up in flames but it just feels wild that something like that can happen to anyone and they can't do anything about it

[@TheAnantaSesa]

@@Dev_712 I don't really get it either. I mean if your taxes go up bc the property value has gone up then you get to sell for a profit. But I know it's a hassle to move and a lot of the profit is lost due to the cost of moving and the natural wear and tear that reduces the sell price but isn't included in the tax value. I mean you won't mind the depressions in the carpet where your bed frame and furniture sat for several years but a new buyer might want a discount bc they "need new carpet" etc. Same price inflation happens with normal growth as a city expands services into the suburbs and annexes them to then add city tax charges to the total property tax. The only thing I think that can be done for either catalyst is to maintain a stable community with neither population growth nor shrinking. That's nearly impossible these days with all the transportation and technological upheavals driving migrations and below replacement level fertility rates requiring fertile populations to be encouraged to emigrate as replacements.

I know several women personally who divorced out of an abusive situation and they had to pay their ex child support, or buy their portion of the house from them, or fight to be financially taken care of due to disability (MS is a bitch), or just had to forgo what they were owed in child support because ex hubby wasn't paying ...

Hey Alex Meyers I just want to be honest. Thank you, I’ve been having a really not so great 2 years, and you’ve been such a really big help in making me happier. Also I finally got a new account so I can comment on stuff, so that’s why this is early, but in general keep up the great work bro.

I dont know you dude and I know it’s been 8 months since you posted this but I’m proud of you dude and take one day at a time. I hope everything good comes your way

[@grumpycat2092]

I think its funny how daddy issues can result in two completely different scenarios. In those movies its always girls having a hard time to open up to guys and getting serious with them - and i threw myself head over heals into the arms of every guy who said something remotely nice to me. And I am a leech. And I always fell the hardest for way older guys.. But well. I think my daddy issues are not that big since my dad still tried to be a good weekend dad and didnt completely disappeared into thin air. Maybe thats the reason.

[@minichelle]

That might be the thing with weekend dads, they breadcrumb love and approval, in a way that does make you crave that male validation because its so sparse. The father is not around enough to actually fill that role. At least.. that seems the case from also seeing friends in similar situations.

Watched this with my wife a few months back and we laughed 90% of the movie. Great chill movie

[@cartoonykat2814]

For some reason, this movie reminds me of Failure to Launch, starring Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker, with almost the same premise. Especially the Parents paying or hiring someone to sleep with their son plot. I guess the difference is that in Failure to Launch, it's to basically get him to move out and get his own place because he's a grown adult.

[@PotatoWaffle-sl4xf]

I thought so too

[@bartrese]

That’s what I thought the entire time!!!

She heavily promoted this, believing in this comedy more the X-Men stuff and bigger films. This was personal. She ate hot chicken wings. I think she’s gonna try to look for more indie/fun stuff. Needs to do an Olivia Wilde movie.

NEVER FORGET!! Matthew Broderick committed vehicular manslaughter in Ireland in the 80’s that killed two people and then fled back to America. He returns once a year to Ireland but has never apologised to the victims families. He claims he cannot remember the crash. He was driving on the wrong side of the road killing a mother and her daughter instantly. He was fined $175.

[@theashpilez]

We (USA and Western style nations) have a tier society. Truth and justice are a mangled , twisted and deformed institution protecting certain classes from any accountability , responsibility and punishment of any kind. Democracy is completely FUBAR . Mix these items together and it all will end with predictable outcomes for all involved. The fall has already begun. Civilized nations will take the helm, those that practice some resembleance of equality without the dominating ( might makes right ) mantra .

My fave bit is how the camera keeps cutting when Lawrence is stripping at the beach, only shoulder-up, from the back, you think okay, that's it....and next thing you know there she is, full frontal and a wild fight scene completely nude and stunning. That's an amazing bit she totally sells.

[@sobekmania]

I want to find this movie funny, but as a boy myself, the age gap between Percy and Maddie bothers me. Just because Percy is an eighteen-year-old doesn't mean that he's automatically ready to have sex. I do appreciate how this movie for depicting Percy as being able to have his own autonomy and determine whether or not he wants to become sexually active, though, so this movie does have a sense of self-awareness.

[@pixadragon46]

Word of advice repeated consumption of a topic like this will make you get used to it no problem 👍 Check out anime age is literally non existent with character ages😂

[@Gamerguy-ud1zo]

Being self aware is often a tactic when it comes to movies or even tv shows with sketchy concepts. Some shows like South Park have done it when it handles a sensitive topic and wants to make sure the audience is aware that it knows it’s doing something that is considered morally wrong, but isn’t truly trying to glorify it in anyway and is just a plot device used for the story they want to tell.

It acting and writing is horrible plus kind of a disgusting thing to make a movie about. Everyone would be canceling it if the gender were reversed

​@@Alonepistachioit's a good thing they weren't reversed then right?

[@Alonepistachio]

@@StewartFletcher well no the point is it should be the same regardless of the genders but people have a bias and think when men are being groomed or abused its never taken as seriously as when it happens to a woman. So if people have a problem if the dynamics if the genders were swapped, they should also be against this. Keep that same energy.

[@StewartFletcher]

@Alonepistachio except there's no grooming going on in this film since they're both adults. Plus men and different are different, so different standards apply

[@Alonepistachio]

@@StewartFletcher so men being abused is fine by you? I see you must be an amber heard fan… also I was giving grooming as an example of abuse young men seem to get no sympathy for living through and that is messed up. Men deserves justice just as much as women does. People like you really make me mad because your rhetoric is exactly why so many men don’t report abuse. Physical, sexual or otherwise. Shame on you
