Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

No Hard Feelings (2023)

Maddie's car gets repo'd, which puts her in an especially bad place since she's an Uber driver. Despite being in her early 30s, she takes a weird gig which involves her "dating" an 19-year-old at his parents' behest in hopes that it will make him open up before he leaves for college. It's basically an '80s-style set-up for a raunch-com -- but don't hold that against it because it's truly funny.

Most of the success can be attributed to Jennifer Lawrence's performance. She's ridiculous and awkward and also truly likable. Gary and I laughed hard at this, which is getting more and more rare for us.
