Jennifer Lawrence has had a lot of impactful moments on screen, but a scene in No Hard Feelings is easily her most hilarious yet.

The actor has developed a reputation for being nothing like the roles she takes on since her presence in interviews is far more light-hearted, casual, and funny than the serious characters she portrays.

However, Lawrence was far more herself in No Hard Feelings, where her natural comedic delivery had the opportunity to shine through.

This resulted in a stand-out scene that will easily go down as one of the most hilarious performances of Lawrence’s career.

No Hard Feelings (2023) follows Maddie Barker (Lawrence), who answers a Craigslist ad offering a car in return for turning a wealthy couple’s son into a man.

As an Uber driver whose car was recently impounded, Maddie desperately needs a vehicle to save her childhood home. So, the 32-year-old agrees to date and devirginize 19-year-old Percy Becker.

In classic R-rated comedy fashion, this winds up being far more complicated than Maddie would have expected. Fearful Percy needs to be taught how to live and, as seen in one scene, how to stand up for himself—something Lawrence’s character is perfectly suited to demonstrate.

No Hard Feelings’ Beach Fight Is Jennifer Lawrence’s Most Hilarious Scene In Her Movie Career

At one point in No Hard Feelings, Maddie convinces Percy to go skinny dipping, but while the pair are in the water, a group of teens steal their clothes off the beach. Percy’s instinct is to find an “adult” to help, but Maddie proves that they don’t need anyone else to solve their problems. She climbs out of the water, fully nude, and fights off the clothing thieves. This was no sexy Mystique from X-Men-style fight scene—Maddie holds nothing back and has no fear of looking like a naked feral animal. Body parts were swinging, the pranksters were terrified, and it was easily the funniest scene of the 2023 film.

This scene was a massive flip from the “hot rom-com girl” trope that Lawrence’s character was meant to fill, which only adds to the moment’s impact. The actor was entirely committed to the comedy, choosing to perform the scene in No Hard Feelings without a body double. Given the less-than-sexy angle of this scene, this is something that not just any actor would be willing to do, but Lawrence seemed to understand how a scene like this would be enhanced with a nothing-held-back attitude. No Hard Feelings’ certified “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes proves that she was right, with many hailing the comedic mastery of this scene in particular.

No Hard Feelings Perfectly Utilizes Jennifer Lawrence’s Comic Reputation (& Proves She Needs To Do More Comedies)

Lawrence has gained a reputation as one of the most down-to-earth actors in Hollywood. Rather than a glamorous, untouchable celebrity, she comes across as a sort of girl next door, always ready with a funny, relatable quip in interviews and on the red carpet. This has always contrasted greatly with Lawrence’s roles in movies like Serena, Red Sparrow, and Mother!, where her dramatic performances have been widely celebrated. Still, No Hard Feelings demonstrates how the actor can apply her organically funny presence and delivery to a film to great effect and that the same dedication she brings to her dramatic roles can contribute to even more outstanding roles in comedy.
