Is No Hard Feelings streaming?

Summer tends to be the time for blockbuster movies, with all of the action, adventure, and superheroes you could ever ask for. But this week, No Hard Feelings is attempting to carve out a place for comedies as well. Jennifer Lawrence headlines the film as Maddie, a young woman in her early ’30s who is facing financial ruin when she loses her car to repossession. That’s when Maddie sees an unusual Craigslist ad that promises her a new car if she can seduce a 19-year-old, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), and get him ready for life at college.

Percy’s parents are played by Matthew Broderick (who knows a thing or two about teenage sex comedies) and Laura Benanti. They are the ones who employ Maddie to date their son. However, despite her obvious physical attributes, Maddie discovers that it is very difficult to win over Percy and get him to take things to the next level.

Natalie Morales co-stars in the film alongside Scott MacArthur, The Bear‘s Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Hasan Minhaj, and Kyle Mooney. Gene Stupnitsky directed the film and co-wrote the script with John Phillips. And now, we’ll tell you if No Hard Feelings is streaming.

No, not yet. No Hard Feelings has only just opened in theaters today, and it may have found one of the few viable weekends of the early summer. Both The Flash and Elemental failed to make much of a splash at the box office last weekend, which may give No Hard Feelings a better chance at a high opening. The Flash is expected to repeat at #1 regardless of its middling numbers, but No Hard Feelings could conceivably finish in second place.

This is also a test of Lawrence’s star power since she hasn’t appeared on the big screen since 2019’s infamous flop, Dark Phoenix. Can Lawrence reclaim her status as a box office draw? The jury is out for now.

Will No Hard Feelings be available to stream at home?

Yes, but not soon. Because No Hard Feelings is being released by Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures, it’s not going to be streaming under an accelerated 30-to-45-day window. Sony has no streaming service of its own, which is why the studio has a deal with Netflix. But there is usually a four-to-six-month gap between Sony’s theatrical debuts and their first appearance on Netflix. Under that timetable, No Hard Feelings should be available to stream on Netflix before the end of 2023.

Sony also has a second window streaming deal with Disney, which takes effect after Netflix’s first window closes. Given No Hard Feeling‘s R-rating, it will likely go to Hulu instead of Disney+ when the second window period arrives in 2024.

Is No Hard Feelings worth watching in theaters?

Comedies have been struggling in theaters for years. There just aren’t that many breakout comedy hits at the box office anymore. Additionally, No Hard Feelings has gotten largely middle-of-the-road reviews, with the exception of Lawrence herself. By all accounts, Lawrence really goes all out in this film, and she fully embraces the comedy genre. She even fearlessly bares it all for one of the movie’s most memorable scenes, which once again reinforces the fact that this is an R-rated movie.

No Hard Feelings is now playing in theaters.

What happened to the R-rated studio comedy? What used to be a theatrical draw has now become almost nonexistent. The late 1990s and early 2000s experienced a comedic boom, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Tina Fey, Judd Apatow, and Adam Sandler became box office juggernauts. It was a time when R-rated comedies could gross over $100 million domestically. Now, these same comedies typically flop at the box office and elect to head straight to streaming. Head back to 2017's Girls Trip to find one of the last R-rated studio comedies to gross over $100 million worldwide.

This weekend, Sony will attempt to draw audiences to the theater with a studio comedy once again with the release of No Hard Feelings. Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence stars as Maddie Barker, a broke Uber driver whose car is repossessed as she's in danger of losing her house. Desperate for money, Maddie responds to a Craigslist ad to date a shy 19-year-old boy named Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman) and get him out of his shell before he leaves for college. In exchange, Maddie will receive a Buick Regal. No Hard Feelings will be another test to see if audiences still crave a raunchy comedy in the summer.

A family of four looks to the left in We're the Millers.

Now that the beloved comedy Ted Lasso is over, fans are trying to get their Jason Sudeikis fix by watching We're the Millers on Netflix. Basically Breaking Bad meets National Lampoon's Vacation, this 2013 flick follows an irresponsible marijuana dealer who forms a fake family with his down-on-their-luck neighbors so he can smuggle a load of drugs across the Mexican border and pay off his boss.

We're the Millers may have divided critics back when it premiered a decade ago, but this fan-favorite film still made it all the way up to No. 3 on Netflix's top 10 movies list for the week. It just goes to show that any film can become a hit with audiences. So while the movie is still popular on Netflix, here are the reasons why We're the Millers is one of the most underrated comedies to come out in the last decade.

Where to stream Die Hard
Bruce Willis holds a lighter in a scene from Die Hard.

Yippee-ki-yay! If you're a fan of '80s action movies, then the phrase will instantly remind you of Die Hard. The 1988 action thriller stars Bruce Willis as John McClane, an NYPD cop who finds himself in the middle of a terrorist scheme at Nakatomi Plaza. While visiting his wife at a Christmas party, McClane meets Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), the highly-intelligent leader of the terrorists. It's a cat-and-mouse game between McClane and Gruber as the hardened cop tries to thwart the terrorist's plans and save his wife.

Predominantly known for television roles until this point, Willis catapulted into superstardom from the success of Die Hard. The film spawned four sequels and made Willis one of the most bankable action stars for the next 15 years. Though we won't delve into the "is Die Hard a Christmas movie" debate (it is), we will tell you where to watch this action thriller during the holiday season.
