Rented Girlfriend is the new movie starring Jennifer Lawrence. The film has more than one thing in common with “Bright Side”: let’s find out why
‘Girlfriend for rent’ was advertised in an absurd way in the United States, but it has also affected several people in Italy, where it was first launched yesterday. Not to spoil the story too much, this is an irreverent American comedy, far from politically correct and with more or less desirable references to works of the caliber of Risk in Business and American Pie. The protagonist of the film is actress Jennifer Lawrence, who once again delivers a brilliant performance, giving life to a character that is destined to become an icon.
The plot focuses on the events of a young woman whose car is confiscated for not paying various fines. The problem is that she works by car since she is an Uber driver. After being unemployed, she finds among the ads a rather bizarre ad, in which two parents are looking for a girl willing to “wean” their teenage son to prepare him for college and give him greater awareness what it means to live ‘certain things’. Of course, the young person must never realize that it is an ad hoc organization founded by his parents.
The fee for such an operation is a used Buick, which is exactly what Jennifer Lawrence’s character needs, so she decides to take up the challenge. The test will prove more difficult than expected as the boy definitely has no interest in ending up in bed with her because he is obsessed with ecological issues, clumsy, too correct to take even a sip of alcohol, and so forth. We don’t want to reveal how this story will end, but we’ll let you in on a detail that few may have paid attention to.
Girlfriend for rent, did you notice it’s a bad copy of Bright Side? So they look similar
The plot of “Rented Girlfriend” is not among the most original out there. In short, there are undoubtedly comic and over-the-top aspects, but they all focus on the first part of the film. In the second case, once the cards are dealt, the film is in every way similar to another that always stars Jennifer Lawrence: The Bright Side. Directed by David O. Russell, the film portrays a cult that is impossible not to have seen or heard of.
But what do Rented Girlfriend and Bright Side have in common? Aside from the presence of Lawrence in both films, the plot actually seems very similar: both stories focus on two slightly unhappy characters who spend time together, confront each other, argue and eventually find a way to make life better. This detail is striking!
