A raunchy R-rated film starring Jennifer Lawrence which she said ‘everyone will be offended by’ drops tomorrow on Netflix.
The movie features Lawrence’s first ever fully nude scene in her career, a decision she says led to ‘everyone in her life’ questioning if she was sure.
Despite this, the Hunger Games star went through with it and the movie was incredibly well received.

The film in question focuses on Lawrence playing a 32-year-old who is tasked by a 19-year-old’s parents with dating their son and taking his virginity before he goes to college.
Called No Hard Feelings, the R-rated romantic comedy features Lawrence alongside Andrew Barth Feldman, Matthew Broderick, Natalie Morales, and even a pre-The Bear and Fantastic Four- fame Ebon Moss Bachrach.
Releasing in 2023, the movie got 70 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and an average rating of 86 per cent from audiences - not bad.

The movie marked the first nude scene of the star's career, saying in an interview with Variety: “Everyone in my life and my team is doing the right thing and going, ‘Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?

“I didn’t even have a second thought. It was hilarious to me.”
The scene in question wasn’t a sex scene or even something particularly racy for the most part but was a nude fight scene.
No Hard Feelings marked the first time Lawrence was fully nude on screen, but she went 90 per cent of the way there in the 2018 film Red Sparrow.
The movie, in which the X-Men First Class star played a seductive Black Widow-esque spy, features scenes in which she is for the most part nude, but with camera trickery, a few choice parts are hidden.
This was the first time the actor stripped off for a scene, which came after a horrific incident for her.

Photos of Lawrence were involved in the horrific 2014 celebrity phone hacking scandal that led to nude photographs of various celebs being leaked.
Speaking about the decision to disrobe for Red Sparrow in 2018, Lawrence said to 60 Minutes: “I realise that there's a difference between consent and not.
"I showed up for the first day, and I did it, and I felt empowered. I feel like something that was taken from me, I got back, and I'm using it in my art.”
She went on to continue this in No Hard Feelings, which releases on Netflix tomorrow in the UK and Ireland.

Devan Coggan said in their review of the film for Entertainment Weekly: “No Hard Feelings is a welcome addition to a dwindling genre — and a reminder that Lawrence is one of Hollywood's best (and funniest) leads.”
No Hard Feelings will be available to watch on Netflix tomorrow, Friday March 21.
