1 Star review with a second star added because of the cinematographer. This film was a complete waste of time.... builds and builds to absolute nothing and no point. I have more questions than before I saw the film!

I can't believe that Michael C Hall, who I love as Dexter and in other films like In the Shadow of the Moon, actually decided to take this project. Was he blackmailed or something? WTH??! The acting from most of the characters isn't good, the story is "eh" and the resolution is ZERO!

Want to save a couple hours... don't watch this!

WHY IS THIS MOVIE SO BAD?! SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THIS!

Wow, just when I thought Netflix was starting to churn out more and more mundane content, we get this gem! This show reminded me of why I love watching good TV because of the way it makes me feel.

Nobody Wants This was a fantastic watch that I binged in a just before bed / just after waking up trance in front of the TV as I couldn't stop watching. Everything from the overall premise and general writing to the amazing casting that delivered stellar performances was such. Delight!

Being raised Jewish myself, I did identify with many of the themes and I thought they did a good job portraying Judaism without too many negative stereotypes (despite some chatter online I discovered) and the show was so great in how portrayed dating in 2024.

While I tend to love just about everything Kristen Bell has ever done, and ALL the cast was so amazing, I think the stand-out here is Adam Brody. I'm not if I've seen him in anything prior to this but his portrayal of a modern Rabbi opposite Kristen Bell was amazing. I definitely felt their chemistry and every scene with the two of them was so great to watch.

The supporting cast was superb and I absolutely believed every character shown. The pacing was good, well edited and shot.

I CAN'T WAIT for Season 2! :)

Netflix managed to make a wonderful and hilarious raunchy comedy that brings to the table much, much more and stands up to some of the most dramatic movies in Hollywood!

The quick review here is simple: "No Hard Feelings is a fun and raunchy comedy that is sure to be an instant classic!" However, I think it's much more than that... The standout acting from Andrew Barth Feldman was really what brought the movie to life. If such an actor wasn't found, the movie would've just been yet another movie in a sea of movies that many people probably wouldn't have given much thought to. His casting was spot on, and he absolutely killed it!

Speaking of spot on casting, Jennifer Lawrence was the perfect actor to deliver such a well-balanced performance of grungy, hilarious, sadness, and nuance. We all know she's a fantastic actress, but in my opinion, she's been recognized for performances in the past that weren't even this good!

The list of amazing performances goes on and on all the way through the cast, which is a testament to the casting director, but also to the overall production, which was led by director Gene Stupnitsky. When watching this film, it's almost as if I'm watching a documentary with how grounded and real everything seems. In fact, the premise is more real than one would think, given that it's based on a real craigslist ad!

When sitting down to watch this movie, you think you're going to watch a fun and raunchy comedy - which it certainly is! But it's so well layered (Laird) with emotion and heart, that when the movie finishes you almost feel as if it's a different movie - as if you've seen two movies in one.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this production what it was! An instant classic!
