Why Jennifer Lawrence in ‘No Hard Feelings’ Makes Us Love Female Dirtbags
Immature, selfish, and reckless. Maybe this can’t define every dirtbag, but it does justice for Jennifer Lawrence in No Hard Feelings. As Maddie Barker, the Oscar-winning actress gets to be as unfiltered as her bad behavior needs. Ultimately, the more trouble she gets herself in, the more she grows into a better person. Maddie is redeemable, after all. She’s got a heart of gold. It might be dirt-stained, but it’s there, all right.
The shy Percy has never interacted with someone with an alpha personality like her. To match his feelings, a horror movie sound effect strikes when Maddie arrives at the animal shelter Percy volunteers at, the camera glimpsing her in a frozen stance that Michael Myers would approve of. It doesn't help that she is stuck driving what appears to be a serial killer’s van. Her dark sense of humor is also for a particular demographic, and Percy is not the target audience.
Lawrence is snarky, taking no crap from anybody. At the bar she works at, she’s rude to a rich customer who could have asked nicer for a drink. They open at noon and just because it’s 11:57, doesn’t mean she’s rushing to start on the order. During a night of skinny-dipping, Maddie and Percy almost get their clothes stolen by drunk teens. Charging out of the water, Maddie isn’t a siren, she’s a fierce force like Poseidon.
