Just a short commentary on this weekend.

First, apologies for a mistake in the earlier column. Universal is releasing Strays, the dirty dog talking comedy. It is Sony releasing No Hard Feelings, starring Jennifer Lawrence.

No Hard Feelings also added to my weekend because it prompted me to watch the Netflix release of Hard Feelings, the coming-of-age comedy in which a character who has been tagged “No Dick” by his classmates gets an erection during a school concert and then proceeds to have many conversations with his penis, which talks to him in is big head, as he seeks to find placement in a willing vagina. At the same time, his childhood best friend girl starts having conversations with her vagina. The fact that they have the only verbalizing genitalia suggests that they will eventually converse, so to speak. The problem with the film that it is better at being cruel than raunchy. Take 2 Porky’s and an American Pie and call me in the morning.

But I digress…
