Mistaken for Murderer | |
| No Hard Feelings / int_24e51e8 | comment |
Mistaken for Murderer: Percy gets the wrong idea when Maddie first shows interest in him. Rather than go along with it like Maddie had hoped a Hormone-Addled Teenager would have at the sight of her, he's completely weirded out by the sudden attention. Maddie also uses a Creepy Stalker Van to pick him up and takes his phone when he tries to text his parents. She gets a face full of pepper spray for her troubles. | |

Villainous Gentrification: Maddie's predicament is caused by the large numbers of rich people moving to Montauk and driving real estate prices so high that she can't afford the property taxes on her house. Her two best friends are considering moving to Florida because they can't afford their own place where they grew up either. | |

Actor Allusion: Early in the movie Laird, played by Matthew Broderick, mentions that Percy doesn't do the same things he did when he was a teenager, like go out, party, and talk to girls. Broderick's breakthrough role was as a teenager famous for doing exactly those things. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When Maddie attempts to kick down the door of the room where she thinks Percy is about to have sex with Natalie, instead of opening her whole foot just goes through the flimsy wood of the door. She might have had more success if she aimed for the lock instead of the door panels. | |

He also asks Maddie if she attacked the three drunk teenagers who tried to steal their clothes, she says that "they apologized". | |

Age-Gap Romance | |
| No Hard Feelings / int_52196c03 | comment |
Age-Gap Romance: Maddie is 32 and Percy 19, which puts them way outside the "half your age plus seven" rule. Percy's parents tried to avoid this by looking for a girl in her early to mid-20s to "date" Percy, but Maddie's arguments persuade them to go with it. Doug Khan dated and then married his and Maddie's high-school Spanish teacher, who was 40 years their senior. The age gap between Percy‘s parents is at least as high as between him and Maddie (the actors are 17 years apart)- and it is clearly visible. But it isn‘t even mentioned, possibly a case of Moral Myopia. | |

Didn't Think This Through: When hatching their scheme, Alison and Laird didn't stop to consider the possibility that a teenager with absolutely no previous experience with romantic relationships or sex, who all of a sudden found himself in a sexual relationship with a gorgeous older woman, might develop a very strong emotional attachment to her. Thus they are caught completely flatfooted when Percy announces that he is quitting Princeton to live with Maddie in Montauk. | |

Summer Romance: Deconstructed. Percy's parents want him to get an older… friend to take his virginity, so he can become more experienced and less afraid of life before he goes to college. They hire Maddie for this purpose, and Percy immediately has feelings for her. While Maddie is initially prepared to go through with it, they develop a (nonsexual) friendship over the summer that helps them both grow into adulthood. | |

Helicopter Parents: Percy's parents micro-manage his life, tracking his phone so they can know where he is at all times, getting one of his bullies in high school expelled and sent to military school, letting him sleep in their room until well into his teens, deciding which Ivy League university he will go to, and of course setting up the whole scheme with Maddie. They agree to become more hands-off later on when he finally confronts them about it. | |

Skinny Dipping: Maddie tries to seduce Percy by convincing him to go skinny-dipping with her at night. The mood is ruined, however when a bunch of teens try to steal their clothes and Maddie has to get out of the water to beat them up. Even after she manages to defeat them and tries to resume what she was doing, Percy is already too freaked out by her behavior and wants to leave, much to her frustration. | |

Toplessness from the Back: When Maddie undresses to go skinny-dipping with Percy. Unlike how this trope is usually deployed, as PG-13 Fanservice, here it is used to subvert audience expectations, so the audience is surprised a couple of minutes later when Maddie comes out of the ocean stark naked for her Full-Frontal Assault. | |

Phoneaholic Teenager: Even with a gorgeous woman aggressively coming unto him Percy can't help but look at his phone all the time. When Maddie crashes the high-school party, she is profoundly annoyed and inconvenienced by the fact that all the teens are on their phones texting, taking pictures, or live-streaming. | |

Meet Cute | |
| No Hard Feelings / int_a82ff02f | comment |
Meet Cute: Invoked. Maddie and Percy's parents deliberately stage one when they ask her to visit Percy at the animal shelter where he does some volunteer work so they can hit it off "naturally". Unfortunately, he either can't take a hint or is just so anxious that he clams up in her presence. He even mistakes Maddie for a serial killer and pepper sprays her. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| No Hard Feelings / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
The age gap between Percy‘s parents is at least as high as between him and Maddie (the actors are 17 years apart)- and it is clearly visible. But it isn‘t even mentioned, possibly a case of Moral Myopia. | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
| No Hard Feelings / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: Maddie was more than willing to sleep with Percy purely to win a free car, but refuses to do so when he gets too drunk and tells her he loves her. Several characters point out that Maddie could become a sex worker to solve her financial problems, but she balks at the idea despite basically agreeing to a Sex for Services arrangement with the Beckers. | |

Mistaken for Pedophile: Maddie semi-seriously accuses Jodie of this due to being a male nanny who's still really close to Percy. Percy slept in his parents' room well into his teens. This eventually led to a rumor that he had sex with his parents. | |

Age-Gap Algebra | |
| No Hard Feelings / int_c95e0c0c | comment |
Maddie is 32 and Percy 19, which puts them way outside the "half your age plus seven" rule. Percy's parents tried to avoid this by looking for a girl in her early to mid-20s to "date" Percy, but Maddie's arguments persuade them to go with it. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Jodie threatens Maddie that if she hurts Percy, he will use his connections from nannying for very important people to screw her over. He follows through on this threat by using his connections with the county assessor to get Maddie's property taxes raised. To bad she has already sold the house by then. | |

Groin Attack: During the brawl at the beach with the three drunks, Female Groin Invincibility is subverted as Maddie immediately kicks the sole woman in the group right in the vagina, who falls to her knees in pain. The girl later returns the favor by punching Maddie right back in the vagina, leading her to respond in kind. | |

Political Correctness Is Evil | |
| No Hard Feelings / int_eea09b27 | comment |
Political Correctness Is Evil: Maddie attempts to crash a teen party, but her attempt to brush off two guys hitting on her (and calling her old) by telling them to go screw each other immediately gets her accused of hating gay people by the overly sensitive teens. It initially seems like an example of The Generation Gap, but then the boy's Gen X parents are shown to be just as outraged. It adds a rather uncomfortable class war dynamic between Lower-Class Lout Maddie and the super-PC, out-of-town yuppie family. | |

Complexity Addiction | |
| No Hard Feelings / int_f6b698ac | comment |
Complexity Addiction: The scheme Percy's parents come up with (placing an ad listing offering an old used car as payment for a young woman to take their son's virginity) is needlessly complicated, specially in light of the fact that their initial conversation with Maddie shows that they fully expected a professional sex worker to answer it. Why they didn't just use cash to hire a prostitute in the first place is never addressed. Most likely this was to get around Craigslist rules against selling or seeking adult services, and to avoid the money trail of an actual cash expenditure. | |

Brick Joke: While Maddie is discussing the ad listing with her friends Sara and Jim, Jim makes a crack about the kid jizzing his pants. Near the end of the movie when Maddie and Percy actually attempt to have sex, Percy ejaculates prematurely on Maddie's thighs before they can actually complete the intercourse. When Maddie first meets Percy under the guise of wanting to adopt a dog from the shelter he works at, he introduces her to a dog named Milo that was addicted to cocaine and gets triggered when he hears the word. Later, when Percy's co-worker refuses to tell Maddie where Percy is, she says "cocaine" so Milo can bother the co-worker. When he first meets Maddie, Jodie threatens her with his connections to screw her over if she hurts Percy. Near the end of the movie he follows through on that threat by using his friendship with the county assessor to get her property taxes raised… after she has already sold the house. | |
