Jennifer Lawrence's new role sees her character's seductive skills put to the test in all-out comedy No Hard Feelings.
The Oscar winning screen star, 32, appears as a cash-strapped teen and recently 'car less' Uber driver who takes a job seducing a seemingly 'undateable' teen — by his concerned parents before he heads to college — in order to save the sale of her family home.
A trailer clip shows her character Maddie reciting the job ad: ""Need a car? Date our son this summer and bring him out of his shell before college in exchange we’ll give you a Buick Regal.""
The clip jumps to her interview as the boys father, actor Matthew Broderick, explains how his son 'doesn’t come out of his room, he doesn’t talk to girls, he doesn’t drink.'

Lawrence's No Hard Feelings role is her first full comedy role since 2010’s Winter’s Bone ; with her most notable recent projects including starring in last year’s Apple TV+ drama Causeway, along with Netflix ’s Don’t Look Up.
But Lawrence fans will have to wait a little longer for the comedy to cross the pond as it has US release for June 23, with no UK date planned.
