Many times when we look for what we want to see, it is possible that there are days when we do not want to see anything extraordinary, one of those great titles that are in the movies or giving to talk about their different reviews; there are times when we just want to see something different or just try to see something that usually one would not see. In my case it's romantic comedies, I feel they were an important part of Hollywood back in the nineties and early 2000's but they are not so much anymore, their productions have dropped a lot so seeing one in these times could be interesting, in fact it was.
Jennifer Lawrence is an actress who is not much talked about in the industry, or at least that's how I feel, until she comes along and plays a role like this one. When I talk about an uncomfortable comedy in the title, I don't mean that the movie is unbearable to watch, I mean that the central situation of the movie is in itself weird, embarrassing and this is what makes it, for some strange reason, ends up being less interesting and obviously funny. It is a comedy for adults where we will see Jennifer being as explicit as she can be, this being one of the hooks and attractions of the film that goes hand in hand with the whole context of the film. So, without further ado, let's go and talk a little bit about this new comedy.
The central axis of this story is Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence), a woman who seems not to be the one who has made the best decisions in her life and those consequences are catching up with her today. Up to her eyeballs in debt, with the repossession of her car, which is her source of employment, and with no one to turn to, she is forced to take a somewhat unusual job. It turns out that a wealthy married couple have a son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), who is a bit shy, has no friends in real life, doesn't leave his house, doesn't drink and doesn't go out to parties. This has set off alarm bells for his controlling parents who feel that when he goes to college he won't survive a day, so they are looking for desperate solutions.
This is where Maddie comes in. Basically what she has to do is that Percy becomes more social and that he manages to spend a night with her, understanding what that means. From here is when the movie starts to develop and we will see everything that Maddie has to do and all the situations that are generated so that Percy can get out of the bubble in which his parents put him. As I said the situation itself is quite regrettable, everything is wrong from wherever you look at it, it is difficult to conceive that parents have the audacity or daring to look for that kind of "solutions" for their son. The reality is that Percy is simply a 19 year old young man like any other that little by little will discover what life is like on his own.
This type of film is one of the most banal there is because all its elements are just that, the typical ones we see in this type of films: the funny but uncomfortable scenes and situations that occur by the mere interaction of the characters, the sexual level that there is, which in the end is what sells but at least here is taken as if that were the ultimate goal when in these films is usually the easiest thing to achieve. A romantic comedy is based, most of the time, on feelings and how to enhance them by going through absurd situations; in this film it is the opposite, it is the same absurd situations but with another purpose and leaving, in theory, feelings aside.
That's why this production seems very cool to me because at a story level it's not typical even though its elements are there. If there is a word that could describe certain things we see it would be "bizarre" and yes, everything sometimes becomes so chaotic that for small moments you wonder, what am I doing watching this? but three seconds later you're laughing, then you understand that within the strangely strange that the film has its charm that makes you finish watching it without problems. And it's not all about ending up in each other's beds, the film's background is simple but effective.

It is a story that invites us that it is never too late to grow up, to make the right decisions and to take different paths if that means personal growth and improvements in our lives. Maddie's life has always been driven by fears of change and facing new horizons, being always in a comfort zone has made her overcoming this has taken longer than she would have liked. Percy, on the other hand, was always under the wings of his parents, which never allowed him to experience failure or the successes of life, since in the end life is precisely that, experiences. So not everything is explicit and funny in this film, there is also an important quota of depth and introspection.
What Jennifer Lawrence does here is very good, I feel that it is a role where it was easy to look bad and on the contrary she manages to come out very well. Besides that she has an innate grace and charisma, she always looks good on camera and is very natural when acting. It's a character which I don't know if it was a challenge for her but from what I've seen in some scenes I would say yes, there is a scene on the beach at night that I really didn't expect to see, super hilarious and interesting. Without a doubt she is the best of the film. The chemistry I noticed between the two of them is good, I feel that if this was vital for everything to look good and funny, as I said, it was very easy for everything to end up giving cringe. I don't think that was the case.
A 7/10, it's a perfect movie to pass the time, just that. You'll laugh, you'll feel uncomfortable and most importantly, you won't get bored. You may question your decision to start watching it, but then you'll get over it. It lasts a little over an hour and a half. I leave the trailer here.
