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!

Kaitlyn starred in Olivia’s 2019 directorial debut, Booksmart, about two nerdy high schoolers determined to break the rules and let go before senior year is over.

Olivia looked incredible after swapping out her highlighted hairstyle for a darker brunette look and a block fringe.

She looked effortlessly stylish that evening as she donned a silk white shirt tucked into a black maxi skirt.

The beauty applied a flawless makeup palette and tucked her belongings into a black shoulder bag.

Meanwhile, Kaitlyn looked effortlessly stylish in an all-black ensemble, leaving her brunette tresses loose as they cascaded down her shoulders from a center parting.

At the event, Olivia also posed with influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who dressed in a black Prada bralette and shorts to impress.

Dylan slung a leather jacket over her shoulders and accentuated her figure in a pair of metallic silver knee high boots.

She slipped a pair of chic shades on her head and applied a radiant makeup palette, including a bold smoky eyeshadow.

Also in attendance was Kristen Bell, who cut a casual figure in a gray shirt and jeans while posing with dapper actor Jimmy Tatro.

The Bad Moms star tied a colorful striped knit sweater around her shoulders and accessorized it with a pearl necklace.

The American Vandal actor, meanwhile, wore a smart gray double-breasted blazer, which he paired with matching trousers and a white crew-neck top.

This comes after Olivia spent some quality time with her kids in Los Angeles earlier in the week during her ongoing custody battle with her father Jason Sudeikis.

She was spotted taking little Daisy, six, and Otis, nine, out for ice cream in the gloomy June mood.

She and Jason are embroiled in a lengthy legal battle over the children, which mostly revolves around the question of where Daisy and Otis will live.

Her coming out comes after she signaled she has no aversion to another ex, One Direction pop star Harry Styles.

Olivia recently liked an Instagram video of Harry singing at Wembley Stadium which was proudly posted by his sister Gemma.

Luisa Sonza

247 Luiza Sonza is among the most commented on people on Twitter after Neymar’s betrayal came to light. She confessed to committing the crime the day before Valentine’s Day.

Netizens highlighted the machismo as Sonza was accused of cheating on her thenhusband, Whindersson Nunes.

The posts reveal that unlike the player, who has received several messages of support including from celebrities such as Thiago Leifert, Luiza has been heavily attacked with sexist remarks.

“Luísa Sonza was massacred for a betrayal that never happened. Support Neymar who cheated on his pregnant wife, needless to say, right?” reads a publication with more than 1 million views.

Luísa responded to one of the tweets, which just highlighted the lack of support from public figures when she suffered the attacks.

PROCEED TO RECOMMENDATIONS

“Luísa Sonza faced everything alone, no verified person came forward to defend her,” the publication reads. Luísa replied: “I have to agree, I won’t say anything, but very, very few, I remember well.”

Quebec author Philippe Gendreau denounces the rise of Facebook and Google’s milk, which refuse to compensate the media for their content, and urges politicians to urgently pass a tough law to make them bow down.

“C-18 is the minimum. If the government is not able to act, then who will?” asks the five-headed monster, who has just appeared on Écosociété editions, according to Philippe Gendreau, in an interview with the Journal, author of GAFAM.

“It’s taking the form these big companies have been planning for some time. “These are carefully considered measures,” says the ethics and media teacher at the Ozias Leduc school in Mont-Saint-Hilaire.

The danger, he said, is that these groups “have lobby entrances.” “It’s strongest in the pocket,” he breathes.

Facebook Milk Rise

A week ago, Facebook angered the government by blocking news sites as the country pushed for the passage of a law that would force them to pay media companies for their content.

“It’s an attack on democracy,” said Minister of Culture Pablo Rodriguez. “This is unacceptable and we will not allow this intimidation to work,” added Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

For Philippe Gendreau, however, there is reason to question “whether trying to intimidate politicians by withholding information from citizens is showing respect for democracy”.

“They don’t respect their customers at all. Intimidation, breach of consent, tax evasion… we are not at the first sign of defaulting companies,” the professor continues.

According to Philippe Gendreau, the GAFAM [Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon et Microsoft] and brokers, addicted to our personal information, have become outright “agents of surveillance capitalism.” [qui] pose a serious threat to democracy.”

democracy in danger

In his essay, Philippe Gendreau meticulously analyzes what gives GAFAM, the “new black gold”, its power: our data.

“Their goal is to increase their profits, not to heal democracy,” he fears, listing the excesses.

“There was manipulation for BREXIT [retrait du Royaume-Uni de l’Union européenne]. There have been manipulations in several elections, including the 2016 US election. We know that the next US election could be affected,” he warns.

He also points the finger at Chinese giant TikTok, which is patiently weaving its web with its powerful algorithms to question the tastes of the younger generation. Chinese web giants BATX (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent and Xiaomi) should also worry us, according to Philippe Gendreau.

“We give them access to our really deep personality,” he says.

“Political parties are happy to have access to such confidential data. There is an overlap with politics while decisions have to be made,” he concludes.
