Jennifer Lawrence ‘stole’ the show in X-rated movie with just one scene
Fans have been praising the subtle scene
Jennifer Lawrence fans are praising the star for 'stealing' the show in No Hard feelings with one particular scene.
The X-rated movie sees Lawrence playing a woman who is financially hard up, and comes across an interesting opportunity.
She is offered money to date a wealthy 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 reads: "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."
No Hard Feelings originally released in late June, though it's widened its reach recently thanks to a release on Netflix in the US.
While the talk surrounding the movie is mostly around the, erm, nudity, many fans are praising one particular scene which actually has nothing X-rated in it.
Midway through the flick, Maddie and Percy agree to go on a date to make up for the proms they both skipped when back at high school.
As they are seated together in a posh restaurant, Maddie notices a piano in the centre of the dining room.
She quickly pressures Percy to go and play something for her. He decides to play a slowed-down version of Daryl Hall and John Oates’ 'Maneater', a song that Percy previously told Maddie used to scare him as a child.
When he returns to his seat after performing the track, a shocked Maddie tells him: "What the f***? That was unbelievable. How did you even know that song?”
And it's safe to say many on social media had a similar reaction to the scene, with many flocking to X (formerly known as Twitter) to give their reactions.
"maneater piano scene in no hard feelings 😫😩 >>> ," one person penned.
A second added: "You’ll probably hear a lot of chatter about THAT scene of Jennifer Lawrence on the beach, but THIS scene stole the movie for me. It’s pure cinema."
While a third remarked: "No Hard Feelings surprised the hell outta me. I loved it. And that piano cover of Maneater... perfect."
