Jennifer Lawrence stars in this playful and endearing comedy as Maddie, a young woman juggling her job as an Uber driver and part-time maid to pay for the house she inherited from her late mother. After her car is stolen, Maddie is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime: Seduce Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), the son of a wealthy college couple for them, in exchange for a new set of wheels. Simple enough, right? Yeah, that’s what Maddie thought too.
From our review,
Like most funny stories, No offense it seems bad at first. It is a film in which Jennifer Lawrence, in her first role in a full-length comedy, spends about 103 minutes trying to seduce a socially awkward 19-year-old for financial gain. It’s also blazingly funny, and a great reminder of how good a book can be on the shelf.

From our review,
Bodin tries to invoke terror with long shots of the film featuring a few distinct elements — the memorable pumpkin patch, or the old grandfather clock and icebox that hide each secret passageway — but it doesn’t do much to render those images as anything powerful or sinister. It is as if Coweb the house is placed in a deserted place where nothing happened long ago, as the girl’s voice is hidden in the wall.
