TheNo Hard Feelingscostars discuss their delightfully raunchy new comedy.
No Hard Feelingsis bringing the R-rated comedy is back, and it isnt making any apologies.
But even as the movie repeatedly ups the ante, Lawrence meets it where it is.
First love is always a little sloppy; its just a little more so in Percys case.
She ends up learning a lot from Percy.
I think in her mind, she doesnt think that Percy can see that shes older.
I think that she thinks that she looks like Percys age.
Do you think the culture is just finally catching up to your idea thatall art is about the mother?
Jennifer:Yeah, Ill go with that.
Ill say I started that.
Andrew:This movie presents what one might call an Oedipal arrangement.
Andrew:Do you get it?
Like you mentioned, theyre both learning from each other.
What did you learn from each other while you were filming?
Jennifer:I learned so much from Andrew.
The Gen Z generation is just amazing.
Theyre so organized and smart and open-minded, which just makes them wiser about every subject.
And I learned how to share passwords on my phone.
We learned so much about each other.
I definitely grew as a person just from having you as my friend.
Jennifer:I grew as a person from having you as my friend.
Andrew:Oh, my God.
Andrew, did you learn anything specifically about how to navigate this industry?
Andrew:Yeah, no question.
So I think Ive been very much encouraged by Jen and by this process to keep that going.
Jennifer:I never told him anything like that.
I read that the idea for this movie started with a Craigslist ad.
Jennifer:Whoa, TikTok.
I want to know what the kids are talking about.
Then I might ask a kid to explain it to me.
Andrew, whyd you cut out Instagram and TikTok?
Andrew:It took up so much of my brain space.
I was so afraid of how addictive it was.
Im like, I just killed so much time, and time is where I am!
I cant kill it.
Is that fromA Wrinkle in Time?
Andrew:I dont know.
I dont think so.
Ill look it up.
It sounds like its either from that orThe Phantom Tollboothor something.
Andrew:Ive read neither.
Jennifer:See, maybe if you downloaded some more apps, you would know more.
