In the upcoming film "No Bad Stuff," Jennifer Lawrence shares the screen with Andrew Barth Feldman in a comedic tale directed by Gene Stupnitsky.
Set to hit theaters on June 23, the movie follows the story of Maddie, portrayed by Lawrence, a 32-year-old woman who takes on a peculiar job to help an introverted 19-year-old boy, Percy, step out of his comfort zone before heading to college.
As Maddie navigates the challenges presented by Percy, she races against time to transform him within a single summer, or risk losing everything, including her home.
Expressing her excitement about the project, Lawrence states, "I've always wanted to do a comedy, but I couldn't find the right one."
She praises the experience of filming humorous scenes with an outstanding cast and describes Maddie as an energetic, daring, and fun character facing financial struggles.
Maddie's motivation to save her late mother's house becomes a driving force in the narrative as taxes rise and maintaining a comfortable life becomes increasingly challenging.
Andrew Barth Feldman, who plays Percy, expresses his fit for the role, emphasizing that the character resonates with him.
He commends Lawrence for her willingness to undertake challenging scenes, noting, "Jen is willing to do things that most people wouldn't even think of, things that intimidate me just to think about." Feldman describes Percy as living in a secluded world, resenting the bubble his parents created for him, and leading a compulsive lifestyle that Maddie attempts to break.
The film's genesis occurred during a conversation between Lawrence and Stupnitsky, leading to the creation of one of the funniest scripts Lawrence has ever read. As the producer of "No Bad Stuff," Lawrence, along with Feldman, traveled to Spain to promote the film, taking a moment to share insights with Tiramillas, MARCA's leisure website, about their experiences during the production.
