In No Hard Feelings, Lawrence plays Maddie Barker, a financially struggling Uber driver who starts dating an awkward 19-year-old teenager played by Andrew Barth Feldman (who offers her a Buick Regal).

Lawrence revealed that she always rejected comedy films because she never found them funny, but No Hard Feelings changed her mindset. She also admitted that ‘It’s hard to make a comedy’ without offending anyone. After her crazy role in 2021’s Don’t Look Up, Lawrence seems a bit of a comedy novice, and now with that, she’s hoping to fill a space in this genre.
