“I don’t want to oversell ‘No Hard Feelings.’ I don’t want to undersell it, either. It’s enjoyable and generates a lot of laughs, some cheap, some clever,” writes Tribune critic phillipstribune.
, wonderfully contained in their interplay). They’re concerned about their socially anxious, temperamentally isolated 19-year-old Princeton-bound son, Percy . He needs a summer to remember, or at least one to launch him less fearfully into his college years. The parents are looking for some nice woman in her early 20s to “date” him. Maddie’s a decade older than that, but close enough.The mark, Percy, is not supposed to find out about this plan even as it’s unfolding.
Maddie’s own story, hinging on a father she never knew, underpins the sincerity sneaking around inside “No Hard Feelings,” though as the trailer indicates, we’re more often in the realm of broad, loud slapstick, though with less meanness than usual. The centerpiece, I suppose you’d call it, involves a skinny-dipping sequence. Maddie pushes Percy into it; at this point in the story, she’s losing patience and might be losing her housea car.
Does the story logically hang together? No. Maddie could probably make at least half the money she needs by Vrbo-ing her house for the summer. There’s a hint, at least, of a socioeconomic context in the square-off between Montauk townies dealing with the usual entitled summerfolk, though only a hint.
You don’t go to “No Hard Feelings” for a searing indictment of the way we live today; Montauk, its charm now threatened by super-wealthy gentrification, is no different than a lot of nice, scenic, untenably expensive places in America. Whatever. This relaxed, agreeable comedy, filmed near but not in Montauk, works because the stars make it work, and the premise — a little hoary — doesn’t sweat the logic part.
