Jennifer Lawrence film No Hard Feelings have criticised the significant age gap in the film.In the new film, Maddie, the character of 32-year-old Lawrence, is in need of cash and recruited by two parents to seduce their “unfuckable” 19-year-old son.A synopsis for the film, which stars Andrew Barth Feldman as the son, reads: “On the brink of losing her childhood home, Maddie discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to ‘date’ their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, before he leaves for college.“To her surprise, Maddie soon discovers the awkward Percy is no sure thing.”In response to the trailer, many viewers have shared their discomfort at the age gap between the two actors, with one writing: “First, I adore Jennifer Lawrence, so don’t start.

But a thirty two year old woman getting compensated to “date” and “date hard” an eighteen year old boy?“All with the okay of mom and dad.

I wonder if it’d be just as “funny” if it was a 32 year old man and an 18 year old girl.”Another added: “That Jennifer Lawrence trailer.

What the hell is that? A kids parents are ashamed that he’s an introvert so they hire JLaw—who is twice his age—to bone him.
