Fans of Jennifer Lawrence can now watch her new film in the comfort of their own homes, as No Hard Feelings has dropped on Netflix in the US.
The movie sees Lawrence playing a woman who is financially hard up, and comes across an interesting opportunity.
She must date a couple's 19-year-old son, who is also introverted and so has struggled with dating in the past. What follows is a raunchy comedy which sees Lawrence's character trying to bring the man out of his shell.

The film also stars Andrew Barth Feldman, Laura Benanti, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Natalie Morales, Scott MacArthur, and Matthew Broderick.
The synopsis said: "Maddie thinks she's found the answer to her financial troubles when she discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to 'date' their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, and bring him out of his shell before he leaves for college. But awkward Percy proves to be a real challenge, and time is running out. She has one summer to make him a man or lose it all."
It's one of Lawrence's first movies since Dark Phoenix from 2019, after Lawrence decided to take a hiatus from making movies for a little while.
She told Vanity Fair: "I was not pumping out the quality that I should have.
"I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I'd gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn't do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, 'Why didn't she run?'… I think that I was people-pleasing for the majority of my life."
She added: "Working made me feel like nobody could be mad at me: 'Okay, I said yes, we're doing it. Nobody's mad.' And then I felt like I reached a point where people were not pleased just by my existence.
"So that kind of shook me out of thinking that work or your career can bring any kind of peace to your soul."
While No Hard Feelings has been available on demand or for rental and for purchase for some time now, this is the first time that it has been put out onto a major streaming platform.
It comes as Netflix and Sony have struck a deal for many of the studio's films to be streamed on the service.
No Hard Feelings is set to be followed by the critically acclaimed Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
