'No Hard Feelings' Team Addresses the Controversial Premise of Parental Matchmaking

‘No Hard Feelings’ is now playing in theaters. Recently, Laura Benanti, who portrays the mother character in the movie, responded to the controversy surrounding the premise of parents hiring a woman to “date” their son. Benanti explained that the film takes a satirical perspective, examining the potential outcomes when parents fail to grant their children the freedom to navigate life’s challenges independently.

Laura Benanti Responds to Controversy: ‘No Hard Feelings’ Film Explores Satirical Perspective on Parental Intervention

First Trailer For “No Hard Feelings” Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter during Tuesday’s premiere. Benanti agreed that what the parents are asking is “insane” in the film ‘No Hard Feelings. She said, “It’s a cautionary tale.” She added, “If you are a helicopter parent who puts your child in such a bubble, and they do not know how to exist outside of that bubble, you are going to make the exact opposite and insane choice, which is what they are doing here. I feel like it is a very satirical look at what can happen if you do not give your children a longer leash to figure things out for themselves. Otherwise, you’re going to end up curating their life forever.”

Benanti added, “I guess what happens is when a kid goes off to school, it’s so frightening that they’ll be happy and they’ll make friends and they’ll take care of themselves that some parents go to any length to make that transition work. And it’s a hard time. I’ve been through it. But you really have to let them make it on their own. But these parents decide to mess with nature.”

Box Office: 'No Hard Feelings' Starring Jennifer Lawrence Made $2.15 Million

Speaking to Variety, Jennifer Lawrence said that she has no regrets about her fully nude scene in ‘No Hard Feelings’. She said, “I didn’t even have a second thought. It was hilarious to me.” Lawrence added, “Everyone in my life and my team is doing the right thing and going, ‘Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?’ I didn’t even have a second thought.”

‘No Hard Feelings’ made a strong international debut with $9.5 million, including $1.5 million in the U.K., $1.3 million in Australia, and $1.1 million in Germany. Its global total stands at $24.6 million. In the domestic market, the film earned an estimated $15.1 million over the weekend from 3,208 locations.

The film’s runtime is 1 hour and 39 minutes (99 minutes). In the film, Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence), who thinks she’s found the answer to her financial troubles, discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to “date” their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), and bring him out of his shell before he leaves for college. But awkward Percy proves to be more of a challenge than she expected, and time is running out. She has one summer to make him a man or lose it all. Directed by Gene Stupnitsky from a screenplay by John Phillips, who co-wrote it with Stupnitsky.

The film also stars Matthew Broderick as Percy’s father, Laura Benanti as Percy’s mother, Natalie Morales as a friend of Maddie, Scott MacArthur as a friend of Maddie, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Gary, Hasan Minhaj, and Kyle Mooney.

Produced by Alex Saks, Naomi Odenkirk, Marc Provissiero, Jennifer Lawrence, and Justine Ciarrocchi. John Phillips and Kerry Orent are executive producers.
